There's also "not-all-Ada" things like TASH and Ada bindings to several
GUI libs, including Java ones.

I joined, but I don't have time to write any code--I just offered to be a
reviewer.  The licensing discussion, as I recall, lasted four weeks.
Check the Web site for any actual progress.  Be charitable--how long do

"decent."  How many years until "good" ?  :-)
