Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple
As someone who has looked at Shoes several times but never dove in, it's confusing how Shoes 4 has been the "preview version" of Shoes for, like, a decade or more. It made me actively avoid getting invested in Shoes 3 (the release promoted on the linked website) because Shoes 4 requires JRuby and I am happy with CRuby (the Ruby interpreter most people think of when they hear "Ruby").

http://www.rubydoc.info/github/shoes/shoes4
No disrespect to the developers but to me it feels like taking over a GUI toolkit created "to teach programming to everyone" (to quote the Shoes 4 readme) and making it depend upon a super-complicated enterprise-focused Ruby was sort of Missing The Point™ in a huge way.
Heck I couldn't even switch to JRuby if I wanted to because I <3 Ractors and JRuby still lacks CRuby 3.0 feature parity: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/7459

Communication Counts – Leading a New Generation of Developers with Chris Mar
Chris: Yeah, that's exactly right. So I was working at Sun at the time. I remember the JRuby guys. I saw them speak at one of the Java conferences, and they came to work for Sun. Just listening to them talk about JRuby...and then a lot of it was obviously about Ruby on Rails at the time. And I was like, wow, this was just mind-blowing the way they talked about it.

Befunge GUI by Glimmer (2 for 1: LibUI & SWT)
In fact, I built its GUI twice with two different approaches, one using the up and coming Glimmer DSL for LibUI on CRuby relying on a multi-canvas-grid (LibUI area) approach, and one using the very mature Glimmer DSL for SWT on JRuby by relying on a button-grid approach.
What are some alternatives?
Glimmer - DSL Framework consisting of a DSL Engine and a Data-Binding Library used in Glimmer DSL for SWT (JRuby Desktop Development GUI Framework), Glimmer DSL for Opal (Pure Ruby Web GUI), Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Prerequisite-Free Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for Tk (Ruby Tk Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for GTK (Ruby-GNOME Desktop Development GUI Library), Glimmer DSL for XML (& HTML), and Glimmer DSL for CSS
truffleruby - A high performance implementation of the Ruby programming language, built on GraalVM.
qtbindings - An easy to install gem version of the Ruby bindings to Qt
MRuby - Lightweight Ruby
RubyGnome2 - A set of bindings for the GNOME libraries to use from Ruby.
Rubinius - The Rubinius Language Platform
Humanizer - Very simple captcha with Rails 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 support
Opal - Ruby ♥︎ JavaScript
GoogleVisualr - A Ruby Gem for the Google Visualization API. Write Ruby code. Generate Javascript. Display a Google Chart.
