Somebody beat you to it. I quote from a recent announcement from Ken O.
Burtch on the gnatlist:


In the next day I will be posting the source code for my AdaScript shell
BUSH.  This should be considered a release candidate and I'm looking for
any obvious bugs that need fixing prior to the official release of
version
0.8.  BUSH is available at http://www.vaxxine.com/pegasoft.

BUSH is a Linux/UNIX shell which uses a subset of Ada 95.  Version 0.8
is
a major upgrade over 0.1, and many sections of the source code have been
completely rewritten.

New features are too numerous to list, but include:

  * works as a login shell
  * standard Text_IO, numeric and string functions implemented
  * while, case, loop, enumerated for loop implemented
  * TCP/IP sockets
  * much greater reliability and performance
  * better documentation and improved help command
  * no longer a front-end to BASH, now a true shell
  * sample shell script: Eliza, the famous AI program

Address any feedback to kburtch@sympatico.ca along with examples to
duplicate any problems.

Thanks.
