(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 access to the computer's parts. (VK not true, C is written in C, and it does have direct access 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 WxWidgets 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!
VK Title of the page promises a comparision of two approaches to GUI. (widget set, cross-platform-ness, availability to use from other languages, extensibility, megawidgets, ability to create independent distribution). Why it is not here?
escargo - The question is easier to ask than to answer. RLH Yes it is.
