Glimmer DSL for GTK is now a thing! Yes, you can finally write GTK applications directly with Glimmer’s awesome declarative DSL syntax: [GitHub - AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-gtk: Glimmer DSL for GTK - Ruby-GNOME Desktop Development GUI Library · GitHub](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-gtk)

Furthermore, declarative Cairo drawing support has just been added, including GUI reimplementations of the RCairo samples mentioned in [Mohit Sindhwani’s blog post “Cairo with Ruby - Samples using RCairo”](https://notepad.onghu.com/2021/cairo-samples-in-ruby/)

Last but not least, [someone requested a Tetris sample written with Glimmer DSL for GTK](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-gtk/issues/2). It also got delivered:

Mohit, thank you for writing such a [great introductory RCairo tutorial](https://notepad.onghu.com/2021/cairo-samples-in-ruby/). [My tutorial takes it further](https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2022/01/glimmer-dsl-for-gtk-tetris-cairo.html) by showing software engineers how to build those same Cairo graphics into a desktop GUI application (as opposed to just plain images).

Cheers!
