The Graphical Kernel System (GKS) has become an international standard in graphics programming and attempts are now being made to integrate it with multiprocessing, possibly in distributed systems. It is therefore necessary to consider new programming languages able to support distributed implementations of GKS. Among them, Ada and Nil are considered here, since they are particularly suitable for concurrent programming. They are compared and evaluated in those specific tools which may provide data safety, system reconfigurability, and availability to distributed programming. The structural philosophies of the two languages are emphasized and reconfigurable implementation schemata for GKS in both of them are then suggested.
