I get the idea ... If we write our LISP interpreter/compilers in Ada,
and our Jovial compilers in Ada, and our C compilers in Ada then any
language goes. We could even use the automatic X-to-Ada translator
to re-write our existing compilers in Ada, and then we could attain all
the advances in software engineering and reductions in life-cycle cost
intended by the mandate without giving up PERL, APL, COBOL, FORTRAN IV,
*LISP, Common LISP, SNOBOL, PL/1, Modula, Eiffel, CLU, Basic, Jovial,
SPL/1, TACPOL, Smalltalk, Pascal, or that other language.
Perhaps if we re-write some Assemblers in Ada ...
