about Lua in general?
Yes and no: Rubyk is an environment to program in Lua with lots of libraries and stuff that just work together well. There are some things that would be Rubyk specific:
1. properties that notify on value change and can be changed through the network
2. remote editing of embedded scripts
But these aspects do not need to be used all the time (or at all). For example, this creates a window with a quit button:
require 'rubyk'
app = mimas.Application()
win = mimas.Widget()
layout = mimas.VBoxLayout(win)
label = mimas.Label("If you thouch the button, I die...")
layout:addWidget(label)
button = mimas.PushButton("don't touch me")
layout:addWidget(button)
local callback = mimas.Callback(function()
app:quit()
end)
callback:connect(button, 'clicked')
win:show()
app:exec()
And you did not even provide a link to your project.
