One of great weaknesses of Delphi is that it is not fully OO. It were quite
possible to extend Ada in a way that all types had classes and inheritable
interfaces too with no time/memory overhead.

OO is natural progression of ADT. There is no alternative to OO for a
strongly typed language. Which does not imply that Java interfaces are any
good.
