Shoes has always, to me anyway, pioneered the idea that anyone should
be able to write a simple gui. That programming little apps should be
fun and easy. But Shoes isn't just a toy to teach children. Although
it is best suited for teaching, it also has the very real potential to
be a practical, everyday utility in a ruby programmer's toolbox. I can
honestly say that I've used Shoes at work to write little one-time
guis for people that aren't comfortable with the command line.
I think that the idea behind Shoes is more important than any
implementation. Thank you for bringing it to another corner of the
computing world. I'll do my best to contribute to the Shoes philosophy
in any incarnation I may find it.

Over the last semester, I have been working on an easy to use
javascript UI toolkit with Shoes (http://shoooes.net) like syntax
called Socks. It is not a port of Shoes, so there are some
differences in the API, but they are still very similar nonetheless.
