Sounds like an interesting proposal, but personally I would be more
interested in a similar project using Scala, or even Groovy.
Any chance this project would provide similar DSL-s in other languages
later?

That's what my first reaction was. For me a more natural fit would be
Groovy, but maybe that's just me.
In general it would be great to see a language independent API. If that's
impractical ports to Groovy an Scala would be great.

I'm curious, is it done with meta-programming in Ruby? I searched a bit,
but couldn't easily find info about how glimmer is implemented.
I'm also planning to experiment with something similar in Scala (not for
SWT, but a custom component model), so I'd be really interested in
reading about that on your blog if you get around to that!

What I'm working (just as a hobby initially) on is a UI component model,
that I hope will be usable for both web and desktop apps. I'm
concentrating on the web first, but when that side is working, I want to
explore "rendering" that component model into Swing or SWT widgets.
Maybe we can collaborate in the future, but at the moment I'm spending
very little time on this.

Sadly, no.
