How about OpenGL? I'm taking a programming class on graphics using
OpenGL and GLUT, and I have my choice of languages for programs. I have
found a binding for OpenGL and GLUT on the web, but it was painfully
thin - 
procedure glutInit (argcp : access Integer; argv  : access Interfaces.C.Strings.Chars_Ptr);
is overly difficult to use for Ada, when all it needs is the command
line or a reasonable facismilie thereof. I can't use anything that would
hide the GL, though, so it has to be reasonably thin. Anyone know of a
suitable binding to OpenGL and GLUT?

I guess I could do it in Java (which I've only glanced at) or Fortran 77
(which is suitably perverse), or just plain C/C++. Any one know of any
more interesting languages with OpenGL bindings - Ocaml, or APL or the
like?
