This seems like a poorly framed question. I wonder if you really mean a
"dynamically typed" version of Ada (like Python), which would be an
interesting question.

But your actual question is essentially an anything goes language (still
static, but no checking). It would be worse than C with Ada syntax, and I
can't imagine the point. Ada's compile-time checking is (one of) its
advantages over the great mass of languages - it is is not a problem in
practice.

Still, I'd never say "never" (that's silly - how do I know what I'll be
doing in 20 years?).
