True. But Norman Ramsey wrote Spidery Web which allows one to generate
*Tangle and *Weave for about any language desired. Using awk, you define
the things you desire to be done with the language of choice, process it
and build both tangle and weave from it. Norman Ramsey included and
Ada.spider file: it should require that much investment of time to get an
Ada* version.

iirc, it can be found at ftp://www.ctan.org/pub/tex/web/spider/
