(Lajr) on March 4th 2007. Some say Tcl-Tk, being written in C, is in fact nothing but a bunch of C macros. The same can be said about any high-level language programmed in C (Python, Perl, Ruby to name a few). In fact, since C is written in Assembly, we can also say that C is nothing but a bunch of Assembly macros. Assembly is in fact the only programming language that has a direct accesss to the computer's parts.
This being said, like Tcl/Tk, WxWidgets is a program that enables programmers to code C applications quickly, efficiently with a few keystrokes. Sounds familiar? Thus, Wx Widgets has certain characteristics of Tcl-Tk.
How does Wx Widgets scale with Tcl-Tk? Is it easier, harder to code with? Is it faster, more efficient? Any views?
RLH Dunno...I do see the other languages moving away from Tk (tile may or may not help alleviate that) and moving towards wxWidgets.
LV Mar 05, 2007 In general, Tk/Ttk and other X toolkits don't interact trivially. I don't recall anyone doing any briding work so that one could trivially make use of the various X toolkits. That might be a great thesis project!
