There is an example currently in ELPA; the wisi package provides a
parser generator written in Ada, and an elisp interface that runs the
generated executable in an external process. The ada-mode and
wisitoken-grammar-mode packages use wisi.
This requires an Ada compiler to fully install the packages.
So far, this is all focussed on ada-mode; users of that mode are very
likely to have a native Ada compiler installed, so there's no extra
burden. But if other modes are implemented using wisi, it could become
one. On the other hand, gcc provides an Ada compiler, so it's not a
big burden.
