Niklaus Wirth, of Pascal, Modula, and Oberon fame, in describing why he
embraced OOP in Oberon, said that "object" is just another name for
"abstract data type", something he'd used for 25 years. The only
difference between OOP code and Ada-83 ADT code that does exactly the
same thing is the ADT code is easier to read and understand.
