Pity that it became so associated with the Tk GUI toolkit -- half the Linux GUI apps in the 1990s were in Tcl/Tk, and when Tk fell out of favor so did Tcl.

- goatlover 10y agoShould have been made available on the web by some browser vendor in the 90s. Netscape invented a language, Sun wanted to embed Java, but went with the applet approach in lieu of Netscape, Microsoft put vbscript in IE.

- mamcx 10y agoI have looked at it but don't find examples that truly look convincing,and the info in the official page look very sad. http://wiki.tcl.tk/9485 http://wiki.tcl.tk/9485
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThat's outdated and unofficial. Look at some examples with ttk.
- mamcx 10y agoOk, but where? TTK is something new?
- rogual 10y agoTk UIs will never be acceptably native as long as scrollbars remain a separate control from the thing being scrolled. This stops OSes deciding where the scrollbars should go based on input device and locale. On OSX in particular, Tk UIs always stick out like a sore thumb for this reason, even with TTK.
