GtkAda is a binding for Ada. Ada is like Pascal but much more powerful. GTK is available for Linux, Windows and OSX. However, you could also use Qt and import from C++ to Ada.

That's a very interesting solution. I've been curious about Ada for a long time, but never found a reason to use it for anything - this might be it!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

A few years ago I did a writeup on the language. http://cowlark.com/2014-04-27-ada

tl;dr: there's a great deal to like about it, but its quirks are very quirky.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is really good and important to know Ada's weak points. OTOH I agree that there is a great deal to like.
