Subject: Wide Finder in Ada?

Tim Bray has a fantastic parallel programming challenge, Wide Finder,
running at full speed:

http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2007/10/30/WF-Results

It originated by trying parallel Erlang live up to regular Ruby.  Now
the top contenders are JoCaml -- parallel OCaml, Python, and there're
many implementations in Erlang, Haskell, and even things like PHP and /
bin/sh.  (This is the first place where I've heard "parallel gawk".)

Given the target box is Sun with 8 cores, Ada would shine there is my
guess.  Perhaps some pro here could beat JoCaml?

Cheers,
Alexy
