We built an Object-oriented MUD ("MOO") interpreter in Ada.
It understands the "LambdaMOO" dialect.  The work on the
interpreter has been dormant for the past year or so, but
we still run the interpreter regularly.  It was compiled with
GNAT, and takes advantage of the GCC-generated debug information
to integrate with the "Texas" Object-Oriented Database (OODB) via
an Ada binding to ODMG-93.

If you are interested, we could look into making some
or all of it available, perhaps via some kind of Open Source
arrangement.
