We cannot know it, but I guess it could be no less expensive than to
develop a portable GUI from scrap. Of course I count the expenses of making
and maintaining GPS in GtkAda, rather than based on a more Ada-friendly
library.
Anyway it is too late for AdaCore now to jump out the train running at full
speed. There certainly are others who are developing GUI toolkits, alas
targeted to specific platforms and needs. It is no wonder, first when Ada
gains more audience on the main stream platforms, the situation will
change.
