There is an escape clause in the Ada promulgation.  That allows other
languages to be used for special applications where there is good reason to
do so.  At the Common Lisp conference it was said that the ARPA Strategic
Computing project would have Common Lisp as a major language.  I think there
is going to be a de facto standard exception for AI programs that let them
be done in Lisp.
