No. The syntax of and the environment where execution should take effect 
can be any. Why should Ada prefer one or another?

No. Firstly there is no reason to use command line interface for 
developing and testing programs. Secondly tool-chains to support 
software developing processes are out of the language's direct scope.

P.S. There are plenty parsing libraries in Ada. E.g.

    http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/ada/components.htm#Parsers_etc

It comes with Ada 95 expression parser and calculator examples.
