Younger still?

"How old are you?" thread

Hope that using Tcl/Tk doesn't make me age at an accelerated pace X-).

Anyway, for hacks and light GUIs, it is still a valid option (in fact VMWare for Linux used it for quite a lot of versions until they did change to a "proper" GUI library).

In my case, I became addicted to Tcl/Tk in my OS/2 days; was looking for a scriptable way for doing UIs that worked for both OS/2 and Linux and that was what I found. Although I reckon that that was a long time ago X-).
