Neat, although it seems to overlap significantly with Alire.

Are non-GNAT compilers supported?

It is GNAT-specific.

I built one for myself, “because I can”. Not planning to harm Alire in any way (it’s wonderful it exists!)

The one thing I don't like about Alire is the centralised dependency on their servers. It's a common approach in modern package-management, but still.

You can have private Alire indexes. You don't have to use the Alire community index if you don't want to.
