To promote easy write, some Ada syntax should probably be changed. An
example is the need for dynamic arrays.
To achieve that Ada compatibility goal and the possibility to have
different deal on some feature, the solution could be to have a standard
pre-processor. Some of the facilities could be provided as Ada package,
as Ehud said, and available for Ada code. Those facilities could be
integrated in the script language syntax to ease writing, and the
pre-processor could generate standard Ada code with call to those
packages.
BTW, Some of the new Ada 00 features could be check this way!
