The Return of Shoes
summary
Shoes is a Ruby-native GUI toolkit that actually runs on Mac Windows and Linux and packages apps into .app .exe and .run files; it uses Ruby blocks for callbacks, ships a full custom Ruby runtime so apps run standalone, and a pure-Ruby backend called green shoes reimplements the API. Development currently rests on one maintainer, releases are rare (one major release in two years), and Ruby 1.9.1 threading/encoding bugs cause intermittent crashes. Continuous integration support is being pursued.
