There are plenty of GUI bindings for ruby towards i.e. ruby-gtk, qt, 
FOX, wxwidgets and so on. Ruby is pretty much in the same boat as perl 
is here.

I think you might also invoke some basic window GUI components like an 
alertbox and similar via ruby only. But I think a nice toolkit would be 
a better choice in the long run.
