Comment on Develop Cross-Platform CLI and GUI Tools with Tcl/Tk

Comments

I appreciate this reminder that boring old tech is pretty fucking good tech; especially to your non-ReactJS-not-anti-ReactJS dev, here.

The comments are also a helpful reminder of the various sw and visual design/GUI values folks hold.

I personally never gotten past exploring Tkinter but like everything else I played with until I found reason to depend on it, that'll probably change since it's as available as vim and python and _that's_ the kind of thing I value. Limitations/constrains are the engineer's problem, not the tool's (unless they are the tool's problem (but even then, just be your natural creative self and roll with it))
