Node.js is only acting here is a layer between Gnoga and the OS to allow it=
 to be cross platform.

Certainly it is possible to implement your application in JavaScript if you=
 want. However if you want the advantages of Ada than you do the implementa=
tion of your business logic or other programming tasks in Ada.

As I believe that Ada is an ideal solution for critical systems I choose to=
 use it over JavaScript. No one seriously developing large scale applicatio=
ns uses JavaScript the language or if they must at least use typescript or =
other extension of the language.

Also electron is just one way of using Gnoga for cross platform GUIs, In ge=
neral I find just have the Ada app launch a browser to be sufficient for my=
 needs or good old remote access via a URL. In those cases no need for Node=
.js around.

Gnoga is particularly great at offering nice GUIs to Raspberry Pi projects =
and other embedded systems as unlike other solutions web based solutions th=
ere is an active connection between the device and the browser for real tim=
e monitoring and control no need for round trip Ajax, etc. like AWS or othe=
r traditional http based solutions.
