In case anyone is like me and wanted to see some more usage examples, the author of Glimmer seems to have a few games he's put together using the gem:

How debuggable is this (besides sifting through wall of debug log text)? Can you step through your declarative GUI building process inside DSL or its like this: "DSL text goes into magic magic...POOF! here is the result. hopefully nothing went wrong or glhf"

The popular debugger for Ruby is a combination of two libraries: byebug and pry. Using these should allow you to step into/over code in a familiar way, if you've used most breakpoint-based debuggers.
If you end up giving it a try, please report back!

These two gems have been superseded by the `debug` gem.

This is great! Just yesterday I was looking at wxruby3 but I didn’t see a way to package/distribute apps. This does solve that problem.
