I was thinking something similar; Whitespace (or a variant) would be a great 
language to use to hide some program in plain sight. For instance, you could 
distribute some open source Ada software for a game, but have a program 
embedded within it to do something totally different. However, this 
capability only seems useful for various sorts of criminals -- I can't think 
of anything legitimate to do with it.

Otherwise, I'd start figuring out how to map Ada code to a Whitespace 
variant.
