Although I know this is NOT an answer which you want, 
Ruby/Tk can control VTK with its Tcl-wrapper. :-)
For example, if you want to use a VTK-Tcl-script, 
--------------------------------------------------
require 'tk'

VTK_TCLLIB  = '/usr/local/lib/vtk/tcl'
VTK_EXAMPLE = '/usr/local/src/VTK/VTK/Examples/GUI/Tcl'
VTK_DATA    = '/usr/local/src/VTK/VTKData'

Tk::AUTO_PATH.lappend(VTK_TCLLIB)

TkPackage.require('vtk')
TkPackage.require('vtkinteraction')
Tk.tk_call('set', '::VTK_DATA_ROOT', VTK_DATA)

Tk.load_tclscript(File.join(VTK_EXAMPLE, 'ImagePlaneWidget.tcl'))

Tk.mainloop
--------------------------------------------------
All features of VTK's Tcl-wrapper can be controllable by 
Tk.tk_call() method.
