>It was a very verbose language

(Haven't worked much on Java recently, but did use it a fair amount some years ago.)

Isn't Java roughly equally verbose as Eiffel?

>that implemented all known features under the sun

At least based on looking at the Wikipedia article for Eiffel, it does not seem to have implemented functional programming, unless the article is out-of-date, or unless the agent mechanism supports FP somehow (not sure about that last bit).
