    I made a quick video showing how easy it is to get started writing Gtk application in Ada these days...

    thanks for the video.

    I did not know one can use Microsoft Visual studio code to edit Ada
    programs these days. Is this now the alternative to GNAT GPS editor?

    And looking at your video, I see lots of words with a
    straight line showing across some of the words. Why is that?
    For example

    Gtk.Widget;

    Show with line across the middle of the word Widget, which makes
    it hard to read. is there a reason why the editor adds this line?

    Do not tell anybody, but you can edit Ada programs even in the Microsoft Notepad! (:-))

    Hi Steve

    Nice video, good to see you using "Visual Studio Code" with the Ada language extension.

    Btw you could also use "Visual Studio 2022" as an IDE, see below link for a short introductory video.

    This has to be much faster, lighter, welcoming, and to the point to appeal to the next generations on TikTok.

    Nice title, though!
