I know that every algorithm can be done with OOP (or even with plain 
procedural programming). Every algorithm can be done with procedures without 
functions; this does not imply that functions are not necessary.

So the question is not whether an equivalent algorithm can be coded, but 
whether it can be done naturally and explicitly.

Is it possible to add explicit generator functions to Ada?
