Hey, it's great news!

Yesterday I contacted Robert Roebling, author of wxDesigner, asking him
whether we can expect Ruby support if we get wxRuby.

Hos reply was: "Yes!".

I playe a little bit with Swig, so I'm interested whether it would be
easy to go with Swig, since Cable doesn't have Ruby support?

I am rushing to download & test your version.

OT: Since I am "weighting" between GTK & wxWindows, I'd like to ask a
question: GTK-Ruby performance is hardly usable - gtk-demo is VERY slow
on my machine (Celeron 566 with 256MB).

However, yesterday I downloaded and tried wxPython and it works
smoothly.

Is it the problem with the speed of Ruby vs. Python or in the bindings?

Since wxWindows is a layer on top of native widgets, I'm wondering what
kind of performance one can expect from wxRuby binding?

Sincerely,
Gour
