This is along the lines of declaring a One True web framework (like  
Rails).

Swing can be used out of box from JRuby, and JRuby + Swing apps don't  
require the user to install all of (J)Ruby, but just double click a  
jar/exe/app. What's the harm with JRuby, or are you referring to Ruby  
in a general sense?
