But how defines "proper use"? I'd argue it's the language designers -- it's 
impossible for a real language to meet everyone's idea of "proper use". (To 
paraphrase Abe Lincoln, in language design you can please some of the people 
all of the time, and please all of the people some of the time, but you 
can't please all of the people all of the time.) I very much doubt that it 
is possible for any language to meet your idea of "proper use of OO", and 
Dmitry's, and mine, and ..., while still meeting the goals of efficiency and 
correctness that Ada has.

                                 Randy.
