Say.. do you use vi or emacs to edit perl?:P Seriously, tcl/tk still
seems a bit faster (as opposed to perl-tk - plain perl is definitely
faster than tcl), and a bit easier to use on different platforms. I
haven't tried with either language, but it looks as if tcl is
significantly easier to use with C. In fact, that was it's original
purpose - to glue together pieces of C code.
I'm curious to play with perl-gtk though.. that ought to be pretty
cool:-)
In any case, I'm still wondering about the dependencies for the tcl/tk
8.0 packages, because, should one wish (har har) to use tcl, these are
supposedly much faster.
