Lets put it simply:

Dynamic_Binding + Inheritance = True Objected Oriented Language
Ask Bertrand.

*Ada's generics are statically bound (i.e. accomplished at compile time).
*Ada's doesn't have Inheritance, multiple or otherwise.

Argue all you want Ada fans, Ada cannot get around the two above
mentioned shortcommings.

However, you are comparing apples and oranges.

I am a great fan of Ada Tasking.  Try going parallel with C++ - kluge city.

Just an opinion - please don't get nasty
