The tcltklib extension, which comes with the standard distribution,
invokes Tcl interpreter directly without any inter-process
communication.

  require "tcltklib"

  def test
    ip1 = TclTkIp.new()

    puts ip1._eval("button .lab -text exit -command \"destroy .\"").inspect
    puts ip1._eval("pack .lab").inspect

    puts ip1._eval(%q+puts [ruby {print "print by ruby\n"; "puts by tcl/tk"}]+).inspect
    TclTkLib.mainloop
  end
