[ruby-talk:444203] [ANN] wxRuby3 0.9.0.beta-10 released

martin8 · 10 May 2023 10:06

For those of you (still) interested in building desktop GUI applications with Ruby this might be interesting.

A first public beta of the newly revived wxRuby3 has been released. Like former editions of this project wxRuby3 aims to provide a native extension wrapping the popular C++ wxWidgets GUI framework libraries.
If you are interested check this out:

This is awesome! I experimented successfully last year with running
wxWidgets in Ruby using:

It worked on Linux, but it had a very slow library compilation time as no
compiled version was provided out of the box. Still, it was a step in the
right direction.

My goal is to wrap wxWidgets with a Glimmer GUI DSL:

Glimmer provides DSLs following the Ruby way and Convention over
Configuration for many GUI libraries like LibUI, Tk, SWT, GTK, Fox Toolkit,
Swing, and JavaFX, among others.

I will look into wxruby3. Thank you for sharing and reviving a very useful
desktop development project.

By the way, if you want to learn more about Glimmer, check out Glimmer DSL
for LibUI:

My plan is to provide something similar for wxWidgets.

Best,

Andy Maleh

Hi Martin,
big thanks to you

We really need to connect ruby to the gui.
This is a big step forward.

We are all so busy doing servers,
no one yet had time to spent time on the client guis apis.

Did you read my post? I’ve been living and breathing GUI in Ruby since 2007 or so. My project won an award by Matz, the creator of Ruby, last year.

Scroll down and you’ll find Glimmer DSL for LibUI and my name (Andy Maleh).

Ruby is well connected to GUI already, and can produce GUI with Glimmer with a lot less code than Python or any other competing technologies. I’ll be happy to extend that awesomeness to wxwidgets when it’s fully supported in Ruby again.

I just successfully compiled wxWidgets on Linux, installed the wxruby3 gem,
and ran samples.

I am good to go as far as being able to play around with the library and
see what I could come up with.

Thanks again and cheers,

Andy
