The closest you're going to be able to get is the AdaEd package. It's actually
an Ada interpreter that was written to make Ada easily available to schools
so that it can be taught. There's supposedly a GNU Ada project under way.
However, the problem with Ada over other languages is that it has to be
validated with the gov't validation process. This takes time and money, and is
why most commercial Ada packages are so expensive.
As far as the AdaEd package goes, I got it to compile with little difficulty.
It doesn't run programs very fast, but it gets the job done, and that's all
you're going to find for now.
