Hey thanks for the reply, was very curious what you were using it for... So, this is pretty crazy, but why not try a small rewrite of some non-trivial functionality in Go? Other than being a language hipster (which I admit I am a little bit), I point to these reasons: 1. Go's ease of cross-compilation is outstanding, so much so that everything else I think of (java, python, C/C++) are not as easy http://dave.cheney.net/2012/09/08/an-introduction-to-cross-compilation-with-go http://dave.cheney.net/2012/09/08/an-introduction-to-cross-c... 2. Go is trying to be used in a "systems language" context, so it's relatively quick 3. It's not C++, and is relatively safer If you're with me till now, then you've realized the real problem with something like Go for this is the GUI library -- unfortunately there are not enough that have been around long enough to be as stable/trusted as TCL/TK.... so that's a bit of a problem. You could also make the UI to your app a website, rather than a GUI application? -------------- OR -------------- What about a your-app-is-a-website type framework like TideSDK? http://www.tidesdk.org/ http://www.tidesdk.org/ You can encapsulate and separate your engine code (which is doing the heavy listing), and just have the client be something that sits on top of it. Sorry, these solutions are quite pie-in-the-sky and I'm sure that you guys are focusing on getting things done (for which L/Tk is perfectly fine), but if you guys are small, I think you might have the agility to move onto a different solution, and I can't help but suggest these things, because I think working on a TCL/TK stack might get things done, but you're gaining experience in a technology that is thoroughly antiquated... So yes, you'll get things done, and you guys will do a great job, but at the end of the day, when it comes time to move to something else, not a lot of the knowledge you gained will be useful?
