Thanks for your post Optikos

I am familiar with Byron and I am really rooting for this project.

The thing is, a source-to-source translator would work right away while a genuine compiler would not work until mostly complete.

The translator could just emit Ada code that is built from more and more primitive Ada code until it was trivial to build a true compiler for the output. 

Or this could could never come to pass and gnat/gcc could just compile it without a runtime needed.

Have a great day-Patrick
