In Ada there is an openGL binding, GLOBE_3D http://globe3d.sourceforge.net/,
and GTK Ada for making window/menus (download from GNAT/libre web site).

For Fortran there is also an OPEN GL binding. I actually just updated
my page with Fortran examples using openGL (linked them all static,
for linux, so any one can download the binary and run it, no
libraries are needed since it is all static linked), here it
is at my Fortran page

http://12000.org/my_notes/faq/fortran/index.htm

it is also a thin binding to OPENGL. There is also a GTK
fortran project started a year ago or so, but the Ada GTK binding
seems to be more advanced/complete.
