Maybe off-topic from the initial question, but just for your information, an effort is currently made to create a binding to Qt. Yes, it's C++, so it's much more difficult to achieve. No, it's not yet ready to be used, and as long as I'm the only developer it won't be finished any time soon. But I've already manage to re-create in pure Ada the 7 first tutorials, the 8th should be done, well, next week I hope. Side note, it compiles and runs on both Linux and Windows (using MinGW). Other platforms are yet to be tested though.
