You are probably right, as echoed by Dmitri, its somewhat borderline.
There are other Ada versions farther down the list of Ada programs, I think=
 that are closer to the original intent.=20

I think some of the other benchmarks at this site are better inter-language=
 comparisons. This test is a bit too abstract, since what a language calls =
a thread is a pretty loose definition. But I think part of the value of thi=
s site is to illustrate unique language features, so in that regard I think=
 it works ok, since protected objects are one of the main features of Ada.
