If scripting capabilities are needed in GnatStudio, why not use HAC ?
https://github.com/zertovitch/hac

We use it at $job on a daily basis, replacing all our Bash and PHP
scripting stuff...

Seven times faster than Bash, tons times powerfull and maintanable and,
even better, HAC source can be GNAT compiled from scratch (without
changing a line). There is also a shebang to ease scripting like with
any other scripting language...

The biggest HAC program here is 3500 lines (!) It's a Cron. A Drupal web
scraper to a Wordpress filer and MySQL DB). It syncs every weeks
thousands of products pages and ten thousands of jpeg and pdf files...

A friendly, humble, well tested and capable companion to a first class
Ada environement.
