'''QtRuby''' is a binding of the application framework [[Qt (framework)|Qt]] for the programming language [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]]. '''Korundum''' is an additional set of bindings for the desktop environment [[KDE]].
Since the underlying technologies Ruby, Qt, and KDE are cross-platform, so is QtRuby. It supports [[Linux]] and other flavours of [[Unix]], as well as [[Mac OS X]] and [[Microsoft Windows]].
== QtRuby hello world ==
<source lang="ruby">
require 'Qt4'
app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
hello = Qt::PushButton.new('Hello World!')
hello.resize(100, 30)
hello.show
app.exec
</source>
The Korundum documentation<ref>http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Languages/Ruby</ref> proposes a more "rubyish" version of this program.
==Notable applications that use QtRuby==
* [[Kubeplayer]], a video player dedicated to play online videos.<ref>[http://salout.github.com/blog/2010/12/18/announcing_kubeplayer.html Announcing Kubeplayer]</ref>
* [[Kaya (game)|Kaya]], a Qt/KDE-based application to play chess, shogi and variants thereof.<ref>[http://paolocapriotti.com/kaya/ Kaya Project Homepage]</ref>
==Status and Maintenance==
Currently, QtRuby is maintained (if at all) as part of Korundum. Binary packages (for Debian, Fedora, ...) are stuck at Ruby1.8. The source release qt4-qtruby-2.2.0 of December 2011 supports Ruby1.9 as well as 1.8.
