Why in the world would you answer "No" ? Here is how I deal with these questions: "Does Ada have a GUI lib?" Sure, like other languages, we have interfaces to GTK, QT, Tcl/TK, Lua, Python... "Does Ada have OpenGL?" Yes, see adaopengl on SourceForge "Does Ada have DirectX?" Yes, see DirectX binding to Ada on SourceForge etc... -- J-P.
