Sure. I was talking about the "critical benefit" of OOP when it's used,
not suggesting that OOP should always be used.

Not many times I'm afraid, because Ada is hardly ever mentioned in the
C++ groups. For those who feel threatened, Ada doesn't represent the
threat. I think that's reserved for Java and C#. I try to do my part on
both sides. I have several times mentioned on the C++ groups that C++
should examine Ada's multitasking features when they finally bite the
bullet and start thinking about how to standardize this in C++. I don't
think I'm oversensitive. Ed's article really is a hatchet job. (By the way,
I actually met him about fifteen years ago, when I was working for a
compiler company.)
