Hello, wondering if I could have a word concerning Shoes.
Shoes is a tiny, cross-platform windowing toolkit. Think of it as a
minimalist apprach to wxWidgets or QT, but taking its cues from
web browsers, REBOL/View, Processing and NodeBox. And, of course,
apps are written, without remorse, in Ruby.
A simple example:
Shoes.app {
button(“Press Me”) {
alert(“Didn’t think you had the nerve.”)
}
}
To celebrate the 255th checkin, it’s time for some decent builds for
each platform. Please see the downloads page for various Windows,
OS X, Linux and source code distros:

In addition, I’m pleased to add that Shoes already has an
illustrated paper manual entitled “Nobody Knows Shoes.” So true!
This manual covers the ten most essential parts of Shoes using
cartoons and photodrama.
And that’s about all that’s going on right now. The mailing list is
very busy and helpful right now. More about that on the wiki:

Well, to the moon,
