Wasn't it considered a good idea, e.g. for teaching and
learning, to known how to compile a simple Ada source with
a simple command, such as gnatmake?

Now we get to learn source code project management first,
or use some vendor's IDE. Newcomers won't know what
a simple compilation process looks like, or what
its inputs and outputs will be.

What do GAP members say?
