Glimmer is a Ruby DSL Framework for Ruby GUI and More, consisting of a DSL Engine and a Data-Binding Library (including Observer Design Pattern, Observable Model, Observable Array, and Observable Hash). Used in Glimmer DSL for SWT (JRuby Desktop Development GUI Framework), Glimmer DSL for Opal (Pure Ruby Web GUI and Auto-Webifier of Desktop Apps), Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Prerequisite-Free Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library and Winner of Fukuoka Ruby Award Competition 2022 Special Award), Glimmer DSL for Tk (Ruby Tk Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for GTK (Ruby-GNOME Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for FX (FOX Toolkit Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for WX (wxWidgets Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for Swing (JRuby Swing Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for JFX (JRuby JavaFX Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for XML (& HTML), and Glimmer DSL for CSS.

Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Fukuoka Award Winning Prerequisite-Free Ruby Desktop Development Cross-Platform Native GUI Library) - Winner of Fukuoka Ruby Award Competition 2022 Special Award (http://www.digitalfukuoka.jp/topics/187?locale=ja) - No need to pre-install any prerequisites. Just install the gem and have cross-platform native GUI that just works on Mac, Windows, and Linux! Glimmer DSL for LibUI aims to provide declarative DSL syntax that visually maps to GUI control hierarchy, convention over configuration via smart defaults, automation of low-level details, requiring the least amount of syntax possible to build GUI, bidirectional data-binding, custom control/window support, and application/gem/window/control scaffolding.

SuperModule allows defining class methods and method invocations the same way a super class does without using def included(base). This also succeeds ActiveSupport::Concern by offering lighter syntax

Glimmer DSL for SWT (JRuby Desktop Development Cross-Platform Native GUI Framework) is a native-GUI cross-platform desktop development library written in JRuby, an OS-threaded faster JVM version of Ruby. It includes SWT 4.30 (released on December 1, 2023). Glimmer's main innovation is a declarative Ruby DSL that enables productive and efficient authoring of professional-grade desktop applications by relying on the robust Eclipse SWT library, with the familiar native look, feel, and behavior of GUI on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Glimmer additionally innovates by having built-in data-binding support, which greatly facilitates synchronizing the GUI with domain models, thus achieving true decoupling of object oriented components and enabling developers to solve business problems (test-first) without worrying about GUI concerns, or alternatively drive development GUI-first, and then write clean business models (test-first) afterwards. Not only does Glimmer provide a large set of GUI widgets, but it also supports drawing Canvas Graphics like Shapes and Animations. To get started quickly, Glimmer offers scaffolding options for Apps, Gems, and Custom Widgets. Glimmer also includes native-executable packaging support, sorely lacking in other libraries, thus enabling the delivery of desktop apps written in Ruby as truly native DMG/PKG/APP files on the Mac, MSI/EXE files on Windows, and DEB/RPM files on Linux. Glimmer was the first Ruby gem to bring SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) to Ruby, thanks to creator Andy Maleh, EclipseCon/EclipseWorld/RubyConf speaker. If you liked Shoes, You'll love Glimmer!

Glimmer DSL for Tk (Ruby Tk Desktop Development GUI Library) - Ruby DSL for Tcl/Tk with bidirectional/unidirectional data-binding support.

if/case conditionals can get really hairy in highly sophisticated business domains. Domain model inheritance can help remedy the problem, but you don't want to dump all logic variations in the same domain models. Strategy Pattern solves that problem by externalizing logic variations to separate classes outside the domain models. One difficulty with implementing Strategy Pattern is making domain models aware of newly added strategies without touching their code (Open/Closed Principle). Strategic solves that problem by supporting Strategy Pattern with automatic discovery of strategies and ability fetch the right strategy without conditionals. This allows you to make any domain model "strategic" by simply following a convention in the directory/namespace structure you create your strategies under so that the domain model automatically discovers all available strategies.

Glimmer DSL for GTK - Ruby-GNOME Desktop Development GUI Library - Supports all GTK widgets and Cairo graphics

Glimmer DSL for Opal on Rails (Pure Ruby Web GUI and Auto-Webifier of Desktop Apps)

Glimmer DSL for Web (Ruby in the Browser Web Frontend Framework) enables building Web Frontends using Ruby in the Browser, as per Matz's recommendation in his RubyConf 2022 keynote speech to replace JavaScript with Ruby. It aims at providing the simplest, most intuitive, most straight-forward, and most productive frontend framework in existence. The framework follows the Ruby way (with DSLs and TIMTOWTDI) and the Rails way (Convention over Configuration) in building Isomorphic Ruby on Rails Applications. It provides a Ruby HTML DSL, which uniquely enables writing both structure code and logic code in one language. It supports both Unidirectional (One-Way) Data-Binding (using <=) and Bidirectional (Two-Way) Data-Binding (using <=>). Dynamic rendering (and re-rendering) of HTML content is also supported via Content Data-Binding. And, modular design is supported with Glimmer Web Components. Many samples are demonstrated in the Rails sample app (there is a very minimal Standalone [No Rails] sample app too). You can finally live in pure Rubyland on the Web in both the frontend and backend with Glimmer DSL for Web! This gem relies on Opal Ruby.

Perfect Shape is a collection of pure Ruby geometric algorithms that are mostly useful for GUI manipulation like checking viewport rectangle intersection or containment of a mouse click point in popular geometry shapes such as rectangle, square, arc (open, chord, and pie), ellipse, circle, polygon, and paths containing lines, quadratic bézier curves, and cubic bezier curves, potentially with affine transforms applied like translation, scale, rotation, shear/skew, and inversion (including both the Ray Casting Algorithm, aka Even-odd Rule, and the Winding Number Algorithm, aka Nonzero Rule). Additionally, it contains some purely mathematical algorithms like IEEEremainder (also known as IEEE-754 remainder).
