> I recommended Tk specifically for making a GUI quickly. It is good for prototyping and rapid iteration and has neat widgets like canvas and the text editor that help a lot with that. Tcl with Tk is expressive, so you can do a lot in under 1000 lines of code (toy example: [1]). The Tcl REPL helps more still, as does a great binary deployment story. After the prototype or MVP, once you understand what you want to do better, you may stay with Tk if you decide it suits your needs or switch to something else. Actually, I would argue the opposite. I found it easy to create GUIs using Qt Designer and to use connect() to bind functionality together. (Albeit, this was with Python, it might be harder in C++). > widgets like canvas and the text editor Is there something particularly unique in Tk's canvas and text editor?
