What's interesting to me is that there are a handful of languages that include gui frameworks: tcl with tk, erlang binds wxwidgets, and racket has its own thing built on gtk.

It's curious what these languages have in common too: as languages almost nothing. But they're all venerable, proven & respected in their domains if not beloved, and relatively unpopular.

I don't know how to interpret that. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Or stdlib gui frameworks are just out of style and it's survivorship from the old ones. But then python is from around the same time, why doesn't it?

tkinter is the Python one!

Ruby has a Tk-based one too, but I don't remember the name, since I used it only a little, years ago, though I did some non-GUI Ruby and Rails web work.

No, I think it had a bundled one like Python's Tkinter, which was a wrapper over Tcl's Tk.

Edit: this is it, Ruby Tk.
