I wrote a sophisticated lightweight component framework on Java (before Swing) that was very fast. Of course, writing it in a "higher level" language adds overhead, but not as much overhead as bad design ;-) If you could have low-level primitives written natively and layer higher level constructs with Ruby, I think you could build a very responsive UI.

If it is GPL (didn't check) then plenty of problems, you can't link with it
even
dynamically without becoming GPL which is inacceptable.   Mingw32 is
another beast since there are no library to link to just the toolsuite and
you
link to msvcrt.dll.
GPL is a viral license meant to propagate like a virus, it doesn't give you
any more freedom than communism did.  I think Richard Stallman obvious
fanaticism shows what its worth.  I like the Apache or BSD or perl style
licences
a lot better.  Actually commercial licenses feel more honest and freeer than
the GPL to me...
Benoit
PS
anti flame shield up, saying that the GPL didn't make any problem for
commercial
software was worth this type of answer
