For a small home-brewn language based on a virtual machine written in Ada I am currently investigating whether I should use a parser generator that can generate Ada code or write the tokenizer/parser by hand. I'm currently tending towards OpenToken but also looking for alternatives, so I was wondering: 

Have you checked ANTLR's Ada backend? It seems to have been lying dormant for a long time. How usable is it?
