There are more than five languages that I can think of...

If you mean Ada, then wouldn't http://gtkada.eu.org/ be what you seek?

If you mean Chill, you have to figure out how to use a C function from Chill, and also
how the concept of an object maps to the language, and then just start chugging away at
making bindings (or, alternately, write a program to do it for you :).

The first thing a programmer needs to admit is that any program is by far
more complex than his own mind. Thats why he partitions it into neat
pieces and avoids complexity.
