Rather say that there are two kinds of OO programming languages: those
that consider OOP as one tool among others, to be used when (and only
when) appropriate, and the "pure" OO languages where OOP is the only way
to do everything. Ada clearly belongs to the first category.

Of course, there are similarly two kinds of programmers. You belong to
the second category (no bad feelings intended), but some of us belong to
the first one.
