Sandy said

"It depends upon which type of large system you wish to implement. Ever
tried to write an operating system, or a configurable toolkit, which needs
to use callbacks, in Ada? Yeuch!!!"

It is perfectly easy to use callbacks in Ada, I suspect Sandy meant Ada 83
in the above statement, which leads me to think that presumably a lot of
or all his comments were about Ada 83.
