The Ada++ project (a modified GNAT compiler) might interest you then.

The actual Ada developers are focused on actual language enhancements with the Ada 2022 standard and increasing the scope of properties that SPARK (a proper subset of Ada now) can prove about a program. Including approaching some of the properties that people find desirable with Rust's borrow checker and lifetime analysis. Ada++ should be doing things like that, meaningfully improving the language and not just being a glorified awk program that doesn't change or add any real syntactic or semantic properties of the language. Also, the author should stop doing releases on April Fool's Day if they really want to be taken seriously.

It seems that they are either ludicrously committed to the joke, or have convinced themselves that it's a serious effort despite all evidence to the contrary.
