VisualAge uses SOM as its underlying object binding method.
Taligent will provide SOM wrappers for its C++ classes.

SOM is language-neutral.  Although ADA bindings havn't yet been
produced (to my knowledge), there is nothing to prevent it.
And that would mean Ada code could call/subclass/etc all of that
C++ code.

The judgements here are that use of anything other than C++ would be
rejected by the marketplace.
