Sorry, but it is not as simple as that!
When we are talking about sophisticated file systems, such as ZFS, bindings are necessary, because the functions which are specific to the file system are not supported by the language. Of course, I am talking about functions that are beyond opening, reading and writing files.
For instance: extended attributes (xattr). Can I access and use them from Ada?
No, unless I have the bindings specific to that file system.
