Ada95 compiler written in python?

Ada95 compiler written in python?

[Daren Scot Wilson]

curious to know if there are any Ada-95 compilers written in a
platform-independent language - other than Ada-95 - such as Python?

The Ada95 compilers I know the implementation language for is
written in Ada (some with C backend). Some of the old Ada83 
compilers was written in C, I think. Since a full Ada95 system 
certainly not is a 'hack in sparetime' project, I'm quite sure 
such a compiler don't exist.

GNAT has a front end written in Ada 95, and a backend written
in traditional C.

Ada Magic (the Intermetrics front end) is written in ANSI C.
Backends for the compilers using this front end are written
in either C or Ada.

I believe Rational Ada is written in Ada 83, though probably
quite a bit of Ada 95 is there now (can someone from Rational
give details).

To complete this picture, we need information for the other
existing Ada 95 compilers (DDCI, Irvine, OCS, ....)

Actually, part of the AdaMagic front end is written in Ada 95, and
at least one of the AdaMagic backends is written in Pascal, and depending
on your definition, one of the "backends" is in microcode (the JEM
Java chip).

I suppose I ought to also mention that we are now called AverStar rather
than Intermetrics...

As I use to work at DDCI, I can tell you that the DDCI compiler
suite is written in Ada83.  Also the Tartan Ada compiler is also
written in Ada83 with some C.
