I HATE object oriented stuff. Hate it, hate it, hate
it. At least in
C++, Java, and Visual Basic, which have been my only expoures to it.
I'be not tried VB, and almost zero Java, but I had to use Ada for three years.
Ada 95 has a lot of OO features (though you needn't use it that way). It is
my most unfavourite language. Some of us have described Ada as a read-only
language (cf. C as a write-only language).
