Overview
Ruby as a programming language has gained popularity in recent years, mainly due to the Rails web framework. There actually exists quite a few graphical user interface toolkits/frameworks for Ruby so that desktop GUI applications can be created. Two previous articles have made detailed comparisons between different toolkits by looking at various factors such as ease of installation, documentation, look and feel, and difficulty of usage. This article will give updates on GUI toolkits that has developed since the previous articles were written, as well as discuss any toolkits that were not present in the previous articles.
