Robert Dewar is probably correct for the short term concerning GtkAda.
However, for the long term, please visit www.w3.org. XML does math, has
vectors, data types, forms, etc and is programming language and operating
system independent. I believe that XML and the Web is where the software
action will be.

Although JAVA is of interest to the language experts, the required
functionality is JAVASCRIPT. Ada must work with XML both on the client and
server side. It should be possible to use XML forms and other elements for
screen generation and to do this from Ada. This means that one could design
screens using a commercial web page creation tool.

Amusingly, Microsoft was technically correct on the browser being integrated
into the operating system. First, the Network was the computer; now, the Web
is the computer. Of course, the objects which were used to create Explorer
could be documented so that a competitive product could interface with them.

Probably the best recommendation for writing graphical
interfaces from Ada on Linux is to use GtkAda.
