Funny paper I’ve never read before. In the middle of the page (the link
follows) you read:
> Why wasn't Ada83 object oriented? It depends on who you ask.
> According to Bertrand Meyer (peut-etre il a parle a Jean?), Jean
> —who had been writing Simula compilers, and was thus familiar with
> the paradigm— thought that dynamic binding would have been too
> radical for the conservative DoD, who after all were the ones
> commissioning the language, and so he figured they wouldn't go for
> it. According to others, Jean in fact didn't want type extension and
> dynamic binding, because he didn't think it was necessary.
