Hmm, actually OOD and OOP require more upfront design than traditional
procedural approach. Ad-hoch subprograms are much easier and quicker stuff
than ad-hoc type + subprograms (=class) with thinking about possible
inheritance etc.

OK, that is OOA religion. You don't need to belive in objects created by
God in order to carefully design types your program is going to use.

In fact Ada was always OO, as you could define new types and provide
operations for these types in Ada 83. It even had some form of inheritance
in the form of type cloning (type X is new Integer). 

Some used to say that Ada 83 was object-based, but not fully
object-oriented.
