Absolutely. C API is a huge advantage. However GTK and stuff is 
monstrous, practically impossible to handle manually.

GtkAda bindings are generated by a tool designed by AdaCore. This tool 
might require massive changes when migrating to GTK 4.

I cannot speak for AdaCore, but I think any help will be welcome.

Good luck.
