If you're going to try and attract newcomers (but otherwised
experienced engineers) to embedded Ada, it needs to be as simple as
installing the prebuilt binaries on a Windows or Linux machine.
That's why I'm suggesting (wishing for, more like) that GNAT or some
other Ada vendor choose a few commonly-available boards and package up
an out-of-the-box Ada installation for them.
