Yeah, to this day Ada, though a beautiful language, is a hard choice to make if you are concerned about certain targets. How would i get my program to compile to Android NDK? Even Swift has a better story with it's tooling.

That's before we even talk about important stuff like libraries.



Unless you are using the Android NDK with the official provided clang for C and C++, anything else is a pain for masochits that rather endure yak shaving the whole infrastructure than code in either C or C++ alongside either Java or Kotlin.


What are the options required to build an android gcc these days?


None since Google dropped GCC support, to anyone to do the work to make it work again.
