wxRuby has been resurrected as wxRuby3, see https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3/

Among actively developed bindings, there is also wxRust at https://crates.io/crates/wxdragon

> wxWidgets is oldschool

It's a bit sad that a GUI library absolutely needs to be new and shining to be even considered nowadays, it looks like the whole programming world got infected by JS ecosystem anything-that-is-more-than-3-months-old-is-obsolete mindset.

The old that is strong does not wither.

You definitely should have been able to link statically, but my point was that these DLLs are already available on the wxWidgets site, you didn't need to upload them yourself...

Interesting that you've decided to provide your own wxWidgets DLLs instead of using the official ones (see https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/). Is there some reason for this or did you just not know about the existence of the latter?

Well, there is only so much latitude for naming the event (or message, callback, whatever) sent when a window needs to repaint itself. Qt has `paintEvent()` too and nobody calls it MFC-like AFAIK. IME people mostly think about event table macros when they say it.

This was indeed the case. In 1995. Since then just about everything has changed, but the idea that wxWidgets is MFC-like still refuses to die... Another common related opinion is that you have to use macros when using wxWidgets, which couldn't be further from truth since ~15 years (see https://wxwidgets.org/blog/2023/05/are-macros-required-to-us...) but, again, old impressions linger.
