(cvl.1337) states that Forth Inc. has produced an Ada compiler in Forth.
This I very much doubt.  Anyone can produce an Ada compiler for the
subset of their choice.  This claim sounds like more Forth hype of the
"Forth is faster than assembly language" strain.
Tell me more about this Ada compiler.

   "Ada* subset" is a contradiction. Either a specific compiler is
   a full, validated Ada*...or it is not Ada* at all. Tight control
   over the standard may be the *only* good thing about this
   language.

* Ada is a registered trade mark of the US Department of Defense
