There is one pragma - 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.
