On this point, I believe it could be improved if `ada-mode' could check if the necessary programs are installed, and otherwise try to build them on its own (as other packages do, e.g. pdf-tools). Playing around with ada-mode today, I just got an error message after error message, having to guess what packages, dependencies and package managers to install, that I ended up writing my code in fundamental mode, which I find sad. -- Philip Kaludercic
