• It is often claimed that interfaces, as provided by Java, are a must for Ada0Y. In this paper, we explain what interfaces are, and show equivalent constructs using Ada’s “building blocks” approach. We focus then on one particular usage of interfaces, namely the listener paradigm. We detail various solutions to this problem, and show that interfaces are far from being the only, nor even the best, solution in many cases. We conclude that although interfaces are conceptually an interesting feature, their importance for Ada0Y should not be overestimated.
