The Eiffel programming language
Except that Simula allows free functions and Eiffel does not, while Eiffel also supports metaclasses and Simula does not, additionally using MELT feels like having a Smalltalk image, so it is a bit strange his point of view.
Any details why he thinks that way?

If I had to guess, probably the staticness, which is what people usually mean when they make that Simula/Smalltalk distinction.
