The only problem I see with this is that (I think) that there are only
GTK+ bindings (and GNOME) GtkAda, etc. Now, I personally think that GTK+
is pretty horrible to develop for, I chose wxWidgets for C++, and was
going to try and attempt to develop Ada bindings for it, but:
1) it isn't easy to do.
2) You don't need all of the features of wxWidgets from within Ada as a
lot of it already exists (threading, mutual exclusion primitives, IO,
etc.) All that would be required would be the UI part. So, I've been
thinking more along the lines of developing my own UI library taken in
part from the design of wxWidgets...anyways, that's a while off ;-)
Apart from that, Ada is a very good choice, just remember coding style is
extremely important in Ada (as is design).
Luke.
