Yeah. I don't think Ada computes stuff like that at compile time. The C++ 
template system is definitely the most powerful mechanism I've seen on a 
language of that class, with FORTH really being a close second. But stuff 
like LISP and Tcl just can't get the sort of efficiency you can with a 
language that really targets the bare metal like that.
