Strange... I find that the OO facilities integrate very well in the
non-OO part of Ada. Maybe it is because you look at it from an outside
perspective.

You can do everything in Ada that you can in C and C++. It is more
work in Ada to "force" things together than in C++. So Ada is not as
forgiving, when you have a bad design to begin with.
