I followed this thread and I thought that I should contribute a bit...

I think that the main difference is that many languages do impose a certain
design based on class (Eiffer, Java...). But Ada here does not. Ada has many
building blocks and the programer is in charge to assemble them the best way
for the job to be done. I think that this is of course a nice thing but it
needs a bit more attention during the design.

I think the problem peoples have with OO in Ada is just that.

Just my 2 cents,
Pascal.
