What is wxRuby?

wxRuby is an open source GUI toolkit for the Ruby programming
language. It provides a Ruby interface to the cross-platform
wxWidgets C++ GUI framework (formerly known as wxWindows).
wxRuby is intended to dramatically extend Ruby's usefulness in
rapid prototyping and general UI development.

wxWidgets is a mature, cross-platform GUI toolkit that uses native
GUI widgets. This means that wxRuby applications can integrate
seamlessly on each supported platform, and can behave like the
user expects.

How does this compare to TK on Mac OS X? Anybody here
who has used both? I read that TK is one of the
better ones to use for Mac OS X although having
somewhat limited widgets, notwithstanding a great text
widget, which is useful for my project. wxRuby sounds
great, but I am a little concerned that it may not be
as mature on Mac OS X as it is on other platforms.

I am just getting started with gui, having used ruby
for about three months. Any thoughts...

FWIW, I also posted a BitTorrent of the Windows package here:

It's not a big deal - this file is only 1.4 MB - but if anyone wants to
help seed, thanks.

Yours,
