It's easy in Ruby. For example:

 require 'tk'
 root=TkRoot.new{title "curi"}  
 label = TkLabel.new(root) {text "i'm text"}.pack
 button = TkButton.new(root) {text "click me"}.pack
 Tk.mainloop

Tk looks kinda ugly, if you're a stickler for those kinda things. If you want a prettier one, albeit less features since it's new, check out Shoes for Ruby by the venerable _why.

Tile makes Tk look a lot better.

Cute. Had to pop over to ActiveState to download TCL, but that worked pretty good straight from the REPL-like fxri prompt.... (Now I just need a library for doing transformations with bitmap images.)

Thanks.
