Is it really true that you don't know that the output of the compilation process
is an executable file containing machine language instructions, and that this
is an .exe file in the windows environment?

What do you think the ada compiler is? Or your IDE program?

For how long have you been using computers? Has it not occurred to you
to find out what all those extra files in your work folder are?

This may help explain why you think editing Ada source is a user interface.
