I really like Eiffel.  Actually one of the languages that influenced the
Extended Pascal standard was Eiffel.  Of course, you can see how well
that crushed in the market.  C++26's contracts finally gets to something
that Eiffel did from the beginning.

Having help for Rust (or other languages) once we have the libraries in
place, would be great.  I'm all for that.  I just have to convince VSI
mgmt to do that.  Anybody want to approach them (Rust or one of their
users)?

 Rust isn't a monolith, but I can ask through a back channel if
anyone from the community may be interested in helping with a
VMS port.  I don't know if the requisite mixture of interest,
time, and VMS expertise and access is readily available, though.
