That's right. That's called the "building blocks" approach of Ada. Which if
effect makes her multiparadigmatic. The current de rigueur multiparadigm
language is Oz, and in this camp Oz is more complete than Ada, but I find
Ada's combination of features more balanced, and her syntax much much
better.
