Wolfe's response serves to reinforce Holden's point. Ada, the language,
has no capability for object oriented programming. Use of these
extensions amounts to use of a different language, especially since
Ada admits no extensions by definition.

This seems to be an admission that Ada has failed in a very important
area of language design. If it requires brilliance for proper use,
it is certainly inappropriate as a vehicle for implementing large
projects with many programmers, some at least of whom will be of
average intelligence.
Why don't you give it a rest, Wolfie? At least try keeping out of
the C newsgroup.
