 [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) is a dynamically-typed object-oriented language, which provides great productivity gains due to its powerful expressive syntax and dynamic nature. While it is proven by the [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) on Rails framework for web development, it currently lacks a robust platform-independent framework for building desktop applications. Given that Java libraries can now be utilized in Ruby code through JRuby, Eclipse technologies, such as [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/), JFace, and RCP can help fill the gap of desktop application development with Ruby.
 
+## Software Architecture
+
+There are several requirements for building enterprise-level/consumer-level desktop GUI applications:
+- Cross-Platform Support (Mac, Windows, Linux) without compilation/recompilation
+- OS Native Look & Feel
+- High Performance
+- Productivity
+- Maintainability
+- Extensibility
+- Native Executable Packaging
+- Multi-Threading / Parallel Programming
+- Arbitrary Graphics Painting
+- Audio Support
+
+Glimmer provides cross-platform support that does not require Ruby compilation (like Tk does), thanks to JRuby, a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) faster OS-threaded version of Ruby.
+
+Glimmer leverages SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit), which provides cross-platform widgets that automatically use the native GUI libraries under each operating system, such as Win32 on Windows, Cocoa on Mac, and GTK on Linux.
+
+Furthermore, what is special about SWT regarding "High Performance" is that it does all the GUI painting natively outside of Java, thus producing GUI that runs at maximum performance even in Ruby. As such, you do not need to worry about Ruby dynamic typing getting in the way of GUI performance. It has ZERO effect on it and since SWT supports making asynchronous calls for GUI rendering, you could avoid blocking the GUI completely with any computations happening in Ruby no matter how complex, thus never affecting the responsiveness of GUI of applications while taking full advantage of the productivity benefits of Ruby dynamic typing.
+
+Glimmer takes this further by providing a very programmer friendly DSL (Domain Specific Language) that visually maps lightweight Ruby syntax to the containment hierarchy of GUI widgets (meaning Ruby blocks nested within each other map to GUI widgets nested within each other). This provides maximum productivity and maintainability.
+
+Extensibility has never been simpler in desktop GUI application development than with Glimmer, which provides the ability to support any new custom keywords through custom widgets and custom shells (windows). Basically, you map a keyword by declaring a view class matching its name by convention with a GUI body that simply consists of reusable Glimmer GUI syntax. They can be passive views or smart views with additional logic. This provides the ultimate realization of Object Oriented Programming and micro-level MVC pattern.
+
+Thanks to Java and JRuby, Glimmer apps can be packaged as cross-platform JAR files (with JRuby Warbler) and native executables (with Java Packager) as Mac APP/DMG/PACKAGE or Windows EXE/MSI.
+
+The Java Virtual Machine already supports OS-native threads, so Glimmer apps can have multiple things running in parallel with no problem.
+
+SWT supports Canvas graphics drawing, and Glimmer takes that further by provding a Canvas Shape/Transform/Animation DSL, making it very simple to decorate any existing widgets or add new widgets with a completely custom look and feel if needed for branding or entertainment (gaming) purposes.
+
+Audio is supported via the Java Sound library in a cross-platform approach and video is supported via a Glimmer custom widget, so any Glimmer app can be enhanced with audio and video where needed.

 Keep in mind that the Shape DSL can be used inside any widget, not just `canvas`. Unlike shapes on a `canvas`, which are standalone graphics, when included in a widget, which already has its own look and feel, shapes are used as a decorative add-on that complements its look by getting painted on top of it. For example, shapes were used to decorate `composite` blocks in the [Tetris](#tetris) sample to have a more bevel look. In summary, Shapes can be used in a hybrid approach (shapes inside a widget), not just standalone in a `canvas`.

 ### Canvas Transform DSL
 
 The transform DSL builds [org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Transform](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-12/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/graphics/Transform.html) objects with a nice declarative syntax.

+#### Performance Profiling
+
+JRuby comes with built-in support for performance profiling via the `--profile` option (with some code shown below), which can be accepted by the `glimmer` command too:
+
+`glimmer --profile path_to_glimmer_app.rb`
+
+Additionally, add this code to monitor Glimmer app performance around its launch method:
+
+```ruby
+require 'jruby/profiler'
+profile_data = JRuby::Profiler.profile do
+  SomeGlimmerApp.launch
+end
+
+profile_printer = JRuby::Profiler::HtmlProfilePrinter.new(profile_data)
+ps = java.io.PrintStream.new(STDOUT.to_outputstream)
+```
+
+When monitoring app startup time performance, make sure to add a hook to the top-level `shell` `on_swt_show` event that exits the app as soon as the shell shows up to end performance profiling and get the results.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+shell {
+  # some code
+  on_swt_show {
+    exit(0)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You may run `glimmer` with the `--profile.graph` instead for a more detailed output.

 This just tells Glimmer whether to log excluded keywords or not (at the debug level). It is off by default.
 
+### auto_sync_exec
+
+(default = false)
+
+This automatically uses sync_exec on GUI calls from threads other than the main GUI thread instead of requiring users to manually use sync_exec. Default value to false.
+
+Keep in mind the caveat that it would force redraws on every minor changein the models instead of applying large scope changes all together, thus causing too much drawing/stutter in the GUI. As such, this is a good fit for simpler GUIs, not ones used with highly sophisticated 2D graphics. It may be mitigated in the future by introducing the idea of large-scale observation events that wrap around smaller events. Until then, keep the caveat in mind or just use sync_exec manually as usually done with Java SWT apps.
