Maybe not what you're asking for, but there's BUSH, which is a unix shell with Ada-like syntax: http://www.pegasoft.ca/bush.html (Disclaimer: never used it myself so I can't provide first hand experience. That said, I ported an Eliza bush script to proper Ada and it was almost straight). Looking at the webpage now I see it has grown further than simply an Ada shell... anyone using it?
