Kazimir commented on alledged limitations of Ada
1) Not 100 % OO, see Smalltalk
Shrug, this is more of a religeous comment than a technical one!
2) Without distributed objects, see Modula-3
This is wrong, read annex E
3) Lack of MACROS, see C++
This is an intentional part of the design, see Steelman
4) Small number of operators to overload, see C++
Incomprehensible, all operators and subprograms are overloadable in Ada
5) Lack of multiple inheritance, see C++
Not necessarily a lack at all, see Tucker Taft's paper
6) Big language, see BASIC
More of a comment, than a limitation. After all you could equally say
that it is a limitation of BASIC that it is a small language.
