Does Ruby/Tk have all features as perl/Tk or java swing? Perl/Tk perhaps. Swing, it's been a long time since I've programmed that. A better bet for a GUI toolkit for Ruby in my experience is FXRuby. It has all of the features you've mentioned and then some. > 2. Does Ruby have features like Java Applet running in a web browser? AFAIK, no. That would require a Ruby plugin for whatever browser you want to support. > 3. JRuby is an interpreter that I can run both java and ruby on it.

The benefits of such a thing I think would be obvious: you can access Java classes from a Ruby program, you can integrate the two languages better.
