Bertrand Meyer

Bertrand Meyer is a computer scientist known for creating the Eiffel programming language and advancing the concept of "Design by Contract," a method that promotes clear, reliable software design by defining precise agreements between different parts of a program. His work emphasizes correctness, robustness, and maintainability in software development. Meyer’s ideas influence modern software engineering practices, encouraging developers to write clearer code with well-defined interfaces and responsibilities, ultimately leading to more trustworthy and adaptable software systems.
