[description of lisp to ada translator/prototyper thingy]

So what? It could just as well have translated lisp to C, or C++, or Pascal,
or BASIC, or...

And if Ada is so great, why should someone want to use lisp anyway?
Because its faster and easier to prototype in lisp they say? What is an
Ada man to do?
