I took a look at Ada recently and was disappointed by how they've adopted an NPM-style package management approach. This was seemingly inspired by Rust -- Ada even calls its packages "crates" -- but the "bazillion micropackages owned by Internet randos" structure these tools encourage undermines many of the security benefits of both languages.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get a modern Ada compiler toolchain (and IDE support etc) without depending on this ecosystem?
