There is no such thing as a PD Ada Compiler.  To be
called Ada, the Dept. of Defense has to validate the
compiler, a very expensive and time consuming prospect.
This level of effort tends to disuade casual programmers
from attempting an Ada compiler.

I guess someone could write an Ada look-alike, but as
of yet, no-one has to my knowledge.
