Most widgets work. We just created a (CookBook with plenty of examples](https://ryelang.org/cookbook/rye-fyne/examples/). Next step will be to update this README and repository in general. To provide prebuild binaries, etc ... stay tuned.
A Cookbook
I'm writing a Cookbook page full of simple GUI example. See them here: https://ryelang.org/cookbook/rye-fyne/examples/

What is Rye language
Rye is a high level, dynamic programming language based on ideas from Rebol, flavored by Factor, Linux shells and Golang. It's still an experiment in language design, but it should slowly become more and more useful in real world.
It features a Golang based interpreter and console and could also be seen as (modest) Go's scripting companion as Go's libraries are quite easy to integrate, and Rye can be embedded into Go programs as a scripting or config language.
I believe that as language becomes higher level it starts touching the user interface boundary, besides being a language we have great emphasis on interactive use (Rye shell) where we will explore that.
