Subject: Some Questions

Hi all,

At the moment, I need to start some projects in my job.
   - One, is a POS (Point of Sale) with a backend for control inventory,
products, etc..
   - Other, is a HelpDesk soft to control our clients.
   - Another, is a script to do some usual task in a MSAccess database

All of this, may run on Windows, Linux, and I will develop from Mac.

I tought about develop it on Squeak/Smalltalk, but I would like to try
other languaje, and, as I can see, Ruby is similar, all are object :D (I
love OOP)

At the moment, I'm not interested on web programming, RoR, or similar
(in future, for some projects or diferent interface, probably). Then,
this are my doubts...

   - Speed: I readed about Ruby is slooooooow. I want to know if is
veeeeryyy slooow for a Desktop application (medium, large projects).

   - Librarys: I need GUI building software (some portable UI? with gui
builder?), DataBase access, 多Object Databases? there are a good
collection of librarys for day by day? All I read about Ruby is about
Rails.

   - Support: I'm new to ruby, and I will need some help. Other lists?
or this is the main?

Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my bad english.
