Necessary for whom? Unless you wish to restrict use of your browser
to other Ada aficionados who will admire it for the source language
in which it's written, I believe you would quickly discover that
Javascript is, indeed, necessary. And you will discover what happens
to developers who say "if we don't have it you don't need it".

People who are intent on showing off the prowess of Ada should use
it to build good apps for Android or Apple systems. Those can be
built quickly and can be widely distributed. Then we could have a
very public view of how good Ada is, as errors are found (or not)
and as the code is changed to add new features.
