Considering the fact that the functionality is already done and therefore it will *not* be put in the GUI layer, you are free to choose the technology that is optimal for GUI. This need not be the same that you have used to implement the functional parts.

I'm playing the devil's advocate now, but really - different languages have different strengths and while eye-candy-oriented languages are not optimal for implementing critical functionality, Ada is not the sharpest knife in the GUI drawer, either.

Personally, I would limit my choices to HTML vs. C++/Qt, depending on what this GUI is going to do. Both options are known to be portable and offer modern or even spectacular results with a lot of know-how ready to be reused from the web.
