My thinking along these lines I call King and have described informally at 
https://github.com/jrcarter/King. Taft's seems to be Parasail (and now 
Paradiso). Guest has orenda at https://github.com/Lucretia/orenda. Do you have 
any sort of description or specification of your "post-Ada language"? I would be 
interested in seeing that or learning more about it.
