I was looking for such a solution for a long time
until the obvious came to my mind: MPI calls can be executed from C code
and everything else can be in Ada.
You can write one-line function in C for every MPI call you want to use,
then gather these functions in separate .c file and call them
from Ada code. Simple, quick and portable (if you support the right
.c file for each platform).
What is more, you can use all the abundant learning/reference info
intended for C users.
