Subject: Ruby as replacement for VB?

Hi,

Anybody have any suggestions for using Ruby in place of Visual Basic for
doing database front ends?  My question isn't about the language per se, but
rather whether all the parts exist yet for Ruby:

* Windows GUI toolkit that supports complex widgets like tables.
* ADO or ODBC interface library.
* Deployment scheme (some kind of compiler + packager, etc.)

Thanks,
Robb
