+ ...  lots of valid criticism of the shootout.

But Ada surely ought to do very well.  I know there are some places 
where O'Caml (does well in the shootout) is likely faster.  Maybe a few
places where C/C++ might beat Ada.   But Ada (ie GNAT)  is very good for 
performance, and the shootout is for people who care about that.  It's
an opportunity.  Ada (GNAT) should be miles ahead of all of the 
interpreted and bytecode languages, and will be in the group at the
front of the pack (I'd bet).
