Something I forgot which may be of interest to some is Devil (maybe it's
been mentioned before).  This is an idl for specifying programming
interfaces to hardware via abstractions.

At present the thing seems to have stalled, perhaps if there was enough
interest inria might put it into the open and it could be modified to
generate Ada code instead of C.

a page is available at
http://compose.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/prototypes/devil/specs/ for any who find
this concept interesting?
