IME any restriction in target language tends to complicate generator.
Ada gives you bundled deal. Some safety rules make sense whatever language you use, but some other are just arbitrary
complication. For example, IIRC Ada function can not have
output parameters. So, less restrivtive target language
is more convenient for generaator.
Also, macros in target language simplify generator. Theoretically
you may think that generator can do expansion. It can, but
in practice macros in target language make difference.
