The Augusta Ada subset roughly corresponds in complexity to
the kind of project done by graduate students in a typical
graduate compiler course. Some of these projects are very
well done, so I suspect that a solicitation of such projects
might produce some quite interesting Ada subset implementations,
and certainly gallons of Pascal subset implementations (Augusta
is really a Pascal subset done up in Ada syntax).
