Subject: Ruby GUI GIS Application

I'm looking to move from Perl to either Ruby, Java, or Python. Looking
at my three choices I like Ruby the best.

However, I need to make a GUI where I can make a map window and import
layers like roads and political boundaries. The window also needs to
pan and zoom in/out and maybe interface with PostGIS. Some of my files
will be ShapeFiles and I need to place markers on the map and color them
by value.

Can Ruby do this and is there a recommended tool-kit?

Thanks,
Adam
