Hang on, I could write a program that does a _simple_ transformation
to change the "real OO" syntax to Ada's current syntax (or vice versa).
This must mean that "real OO" is _only_ syntax
And I thought that OO was about semantics!
The solution to solving this argument is for you to supply a list
of features that you think "real OO" _must_ have, and for you to
tick them off against Ada. No doubt your list will have
"must have a particular syntax"
and you will therefore prove that Ada doesn't fit the bill.
That's fair enough, you can call anything by any name that you
choose. The question that we will all be left with is does
anyone agree with you, or does anyone care.
