I am a bit disheartened by the way that the build system for tools like
GNATColl is migrating towards Python. What's wrong with Make? (I do draw
the line at autotools, though)

On the other hand, I do quite understand _why_ people write tools in
Python; I've done it myself.

I'm not sure how horrible it is? I know it was an effort to squeeze a
slightly complex demo into a BBC:microbit (16k ram).
