Re: Ada 95 OOP questions

I offer a compromise to anyone who wants Ada to be more obvious about
the relationship between an object/class/type and its methods/operations.

If you get a warm fuzzy from

    class Person
    {
       Eat();
       Walk();
       Talk();
    }

perhaps you would feel good about

    protected Person is
       entry     Eat;
       procedure Walk ( To    : in Location );
       function  Talk ( About : Subject ) return Words;
    private
       Name : Name_Type;
    end Person;

And you can even put persons in arrays, record fields, or linked lists.
You can pass them as parameters, and each Person knows his/her name without
having to call it "my.Name"
