Almost all programs can be described that way (taking a set of bytes in and
writing a set out). And of course the ecosystem of an Ada implementation
does a lot more than just "transforming bytes". Debugging and editing are
very interactive, while build tools are rather data-intensive.
The real question is how much risk is one willing to take on, and in what
parts of a project? Use of third-party things get things up quicker (which
is good), but greatly increase the risk down the road. So all you're really
saying is that you don't care about what happens down the road, which is a
sad-but-true state of affairs in many areas of today's world.
Randy.
