I believe that the discussions you have seen prove that nobody
has a creation that they would be willing to stand behind as
meeting a description that broad.

If the one you write yourself make particular assumptions for
your own needs, such as only supporting tasking for a particular
target environment (e.g., Unix), then presumably a similar query
in the future would draw silence from you as well.

Perhaps you want to scale back a bit on your expectations and
describe some _subset_ of Ada which you want to translate. Of
course it is possible that you still would not get any takers.
