Actually, the reason he didn't include Ada in the book "Objects
Unencapsulated", which the extract was from (or from its precursor
article), was that he didn't know Ada well enough to feel he could
comment intelligently on it. The book also looks at Java alongside
Eiffel and C++. It's a bit polemical, but an interesting read
nonetheless.
