Ruby Gui Toolkit -- Is there any left ?

thomas94 · 03-10-2015, 05:00 AM

Hi, im looking for a ruby gui toolkit, just something basic, doesn't have to be feature rich.

I've looked here....
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...brary-for-ruby
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Pr...oolkit_Modules

But everything seems to be no longer supported. The best i could find was 'shoes'. But that's still being developed and from reports is extremely buggy. Was just asking if anyone knew of any that are still active. It seems like python might be the only way to go for gui development

Thanks for your time.

I did something small with Tk a year ago (only canvas and lines/polygons), but it no longer runs - some ruby update swallowed the Tk bindings.
