Thanks for the benchmarks! Come back when, or I should rather say, if you succeed to make something that's not several hundred times slower than something that actually works. I doubt you ever will.
Ada attracted much attention from the programming community as a whole during its early days. Its backers and others predicted that it might become a dominant language for general purpose programming and not just defense-related work. Ichbiah publicly stated that within ten years, only two programming languages would remain, Ada and Lisp. Early Ada compilers struggled to implement the large, complex language, and both compile-time and run-time performance tended to be slow and tools primitive. Compiler vendors expended most of their efforts in passing the massive, language-conformance-testing, government-required "ACVC" validation suite that was required in another novel feature of the Ada language effort.
You are building another Ada, this time without the backing of DoD and, more importantly, with no chance of a Perl6 mandate.

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.
