What it means is that the proposed base object system won't work for eiffel.
You might lose the ability to reuse an Eiffel-created object with other languages, but if you're using Eiffel, you're probably not going to be happy with object-orientation in any language that doesn't strictly enforce DBC anyway. ;-)
