The AdaMagic front end is written primarily in C, although I wrote
an optimization pass for it in Ada when I was at Intermetrics.
The run-time system is written in Ada.
AdaMagic is used by Green Hills, ADI, and others.
If I were writing an Ada compiler from scratch, I would write it in Ada,
using GNAT at first, and then bootstrap. Bootstrapping removes any
licensing concerns -- you can use whatever license you want for your own
work.
Of course, writing an Ada compiler and an IDE is many, many
years of work, as has been pointed out.
