ADA?
Isn't that just a fancy object-based Pascal? |
No.
In fact, the 1983 Ada standard had no object-oriented features per se. On the other hand, Ada 95 was the first ISO standardized language with object-oriented features. They're called tagged records.
(Perhaps you're thinking of Oberon? That was designed by Niklaus Wirth, who also designed Pascal (and Modula and Modula-2!) and is indeed object-oriented. Wirth designed it to be as simple as possible, but no simpler. IMHO he failed. But it is a nice language, and Wirth is a much, much smarter guy than I.)
(I wonder if the guy who asked for a language war regrets it yet.)_________________ I've decided to follow an awful lot of people I respect and leave AmigaWorld. If for some reason you want to talk to me, it shouldn't take much effort to find me. |
