Just stumbled across the Clutter toolkit  
[[http://clutter-project.org/](http://clutter-project.org/)], a pretty neat-looking UI-oriented layer  
atop OpenGL. It mentions ruby bindings - anyone used this?

Looks very promising… I’d like to use this instead of tk canvas for 2d  
stuff.

But some of the tests seem broken, and the ruby bindings someone wrote  
last year never did get integrated, afaict.

Something to keep an eye on though.

It looks like the ruby bindings haven’t been updated in a while  
[http://svn.o-hand.com/view/clutter/trunk/bindings/rbclutter/](http://svn.o-hand.com/view/clutter/trunk/bindings/rbclutter/)

but at the very least, the author used them just last week
