Advanced, modern code editor written in Tcl/Tk

• soupbowl 4y ago
  No screenshots or features list. Modern and Tcl/Tk caught my eye, the installation method seems about as far from modern as possible though.

    Not the author but I’ve noticed that when it come to Tk, by modern they usually refer to the new widgets released in version 8.5. Tk used to have a very distinctive look and not-native. With the new widgets it is a look closer to native look

    That was my first reaction. I tried clicking the wiki link, though, at the top of the github page, and from there to "Bird's Eye View". Pleasantly surprised.

    There are some on Wiki: https://github.com/phase1geo/tke/wiki/Bird's-Eye-View https://github.com/phase1geo/tke/wiki/Bird's-Eye-View Which let's you know what you can expect. Also the wiki seems rather good.

  I’ve been learning Tcl and it seems like a very nice tool to add to a developer’s toolbox! And Tk, I can’t even… I’m planning to make a generated gui for php artisan (Laravel) by parsing the --help. We’ll see how it goes :)

    Have you tried laravel-kit[1]? It's a desktop GUI for artisan. [1]: https://github.com/tmdh/laravel-kit https://github.com/tmdh/laravel-kit

      No, I hadn’t! Thanks for pointing it out :)

  I am not sure why, but random _'s keep appearing wherever I click. I like the effort, and that it might be the most feature-rich code editor written in Tcl/Tk. I probably will not be using it just yet though, but we will see.

  It seems that it neither has any advantages over VSCode, nor brings the ergonomics and flexibility of vi/emacs to the table. I honestly cannot understand why it exists beyond "let's make a project using Tcl/Tk".
