- I write some GUI apps in Ruby. There's some caveats, but nothing I
- couldn't work around.
- Its core is to me at heart unixy -- anything that can be bound in C
- is a decent candidate for working with in Ruby. I do so.
- IDE integration is weak at best. Being a VIM user, this doesn't bug
- me at all. I write in GTK with quite a bit of Glade when I'm writing,
- so I do a bit of visual UI design, and integrate purely in code. No
- click-to-stub-event-handlers for me.
- Ruby's threading is sometimes uncomfortable to use with GUI toolkits.
- It's not pthreaded.
- I do a lot of web coding. A lot more unix-style shell scripts and
- such in ruby. And last, GUIs. But it's a very general language, and
- only slightly less general runtime.
- Then go JRuby, and you have full access to the Java goodness, and the
- threading there is much better, though of course you lose a lot of
- the unixyness.
