My Python package depends on my C translation of the Ada routines,
which could be embedded into Perl as well, by writing "XS" g(l)ue
(or any other means of calling C code from Perl). All it takes
is someone motivated. It "only" took 950 lines of C to glue the
library into Python.
I believe the fellow who wrote a SNOBOL3 implementation in Java (look
for the link on www.snobol4.org) did a Java port of the Ada code.
