I have not read this book, but it is also interesting to see that Ada is not
compared with languages such as C++ Java Smalltalk like Eiffel is.
Reading more about Ada, I am seeing that Ada is a practical language,
allowing the programmer to make his/her informed decisions on how to
implement code.
I like this idea, I am in no way rubbishing OOP, OOP makes sense for most
programming and is indeed a more natural way of programming, however there
are times when defining a class to perform the simplest of things can be
overkill IMHO.
Eiffel does not allow any orphan functions/features or variables to exist,
everything is wrapped in classes, true OO.
