When I was reading about HPF, I remember thinking that the parallel 
loops could be done just as easily in Ada with custom pragmas ("pragma 
parallel (Loopname);"). I also remember thinking that a lot of the 
optimization problems that we obsessed over in class (it was a compiler 
optimization class) would be much simpler in Ada.
