Hello  Dmitry;

I was looking the other day just for examples of applications
written using Ada and GtkAda that I can download and run on my computer
just to get a feeling for how Ada GUI apps work.

Just like small utilites and such. I could only find very few such apps
some are listed here, but old list and not updated for ages.

Speeking of GTK, There is now an ongoing effort to make GTK interface
for Fortran also, Here is the web page

https://github.com/jerryd/gtk-fortran/wiki

I have not tried it. But from the examples shown, it also looks good.
