I've recently started to learn both OOP (in more depth than before), and the 
Ada 95 OOP constructs.  For the former, mostly trolling various articles
referenced out of comp.object, along with the Design Patterns book by Gamma,
Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.  For the latter, the 9x Rationale.

As I'm digesting the two streams of info, I find myself thinking about how
to implement various pattern instances in Ada.  The gap that's apparent is a
combination of  the richness of alternative constructs in Ada 95, and the lack
of material "out there" regarding what constructs are most suitable for which 
design situations.

Is anyone else out there thinking about the same issues?

For those of you working on bindings, libraries etc:  what are you finding 
as you start building these?

Authors and instructors: anyone working on these issues?

Any materials available?

Thanks in advance.
