No. You are right. But it depends what you are thinking when you say
"standard". Java is not a standard either. But here is not my point. For
graphical stuff we have some very good and fast growing technologies :
Tk/Tcl and GTK both are cross-plateforms are very cost effective
in terms of developpement, are very well designed.

Also, keep in mind that the most important GUI today is the browser !

In this respect Ada is (as all others languages) just fine. In CGI mode
you just have to output some HTML, XML, CSS... infos.
