Real unlikely, guy. The whole point of Ada was that the DoD was tired of
supporting the creation and maintenance of code in several hundred different
languages. If your package was WRITTEN in Lisp, and is MAINTAINED in Lisp,
I don't think DoD will care if you can mechanically translate it into Swahili.
It won't be acceptable.
