Hi,

There was a post on Hacker News (#1) just over a year ago about Make A 
Lisp (#2).  They had implementations in many languages but not for Ada 
so I've made one (#3 on branch ada).

I'm pretty close to getting it accepted (put in the pull request today). 
  It's slower than the C and C++ implementations.  Seems to spend a lot 
of time finalizing the smart pointer according to gprof.
