As a coauthor of the TriAda paper "CLAW, a High Level, Portable,
Ada 95 Binding for Microsoft Windows", I respectfully disagree that
for a GUI it's easier to write in C.

There's a simple, basic web server using CLAW, and Pascal Obry has a
much bigger one. (Look for "web server" at www.adapower.com). If you
want to replace Apache I'd agree the libraries available in Ada leave
you some work to do. But not all web servers need all that functionality.
