Well, I mentioned wx and Qt since both are suitable for desktop apps offering rich set of widgets. Wx provides native look on Mac/Win - nothing against GTK being 'native' on Linux, although there is work on wxQt port as well. Otoh, Qt is also very rich toolkit and with good support, even for monibile OS-es. It seems that Gnoga *could* be able to be used instead. Moreover, let me say that "It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice." ;) > Plus I should have native client for Android and eventually iOS > coming.

This is very noble attempt - Ada looks as capable as all other so called 'modern' languages both in terms of features and performance as well, so if you succeed in your attempt, it will be great service for Ada community. I'm very thankful to you for it!!
