but could'nt all of the above be coded just as well in Ada? All
what one need is a fortran array-thingy package that implement all of
those fortran features mentioned.

It is all just code after all. may be this is another package to
add to the growing wish-list of packages for Ada that everyone 
wants, but no one has the time to do :)
