I don't know why this happens, but everyone always seems to forget
about the programming language Simula when discussing static object-
oriented programming languages.  To my mind, Simula has all of the
advantages of object-orientation that Ada provides, while at the
same time avoiding many difficult (and largely unnecessary) features.

If we're discussing object-oriented PLs, let's please include
Simula and exclude Modula-2 -- it can hardly be counted as an OO PL!
