Get Your Shoes Back On
summary
Shoes4 is a Ruby GUI framework that runs cross‑platform on Linux, Mac and Windows and is implemented on JRuby + SWT. It separates a concise DSL separated from backends so the same Ruby API maps to different GUI engines, and core components (example: progress bar) show exactly how the DSL forwards state to an SWT widget. The codebase is written in Ruby, tested with RSpec mocks, and includes kid‑friendly examples from Hackety Hack.
