Not ported, but one of the early generic library attempts by Stepanov
and Musser was in Ada. Lecture Notes in Computer Science 358,
springer-Verlag 1989 p 13-25. I think you can find it at the RPI STL
web site too.

See the online publications at adahome.
If you're willing to put up with an incomplete, still buggy continuation

I thought David Weller had stopped work on this. David?
In any case, the libraries are *very* different.
