I've looked at the new standard.

My Ada specific programming experience was with the previous standard
release.

I do not consider Ada to be an object oriented programming language.

Note that you write OO *programs* in almost any language.  I've done
OO programs in C.  But to be an OO programming language, it isn't
sufficient to hack in some neat new stuff.

I may, in fact, be impossible to create anything other than a semi-OO
language, or at best, a Hybrid OO language, with out starting from
a blank slate.
