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.

http://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/gtkada/

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.
