There are at least 2 more recent Ada bindings to OpenGL: one is
lumen ( https://github.com/karakalo/lumen or its "fork" https://github.com/darkestkhan/lumen ) and
http://flyx.github.io/OpenGLAda/

Not sure about the one from flyx, but I do know that lumen supports at least up to 3.3 (some of that 3.3 stuff I added myself). As for >3.3 I simply wasn't interested in adding it as my hardware has no support for it (if you need I can add). Also lumen provides glut-like functionality. (but the one from me has no support for Windows, due to my cleanup of code under non-ISC license)
