Not wanting to enter yet another language war, the question still begs to be asked : what limitations would justify to depart from Tcl/Tk ? The two reasons so far are not really convincing. User-friendliness is unrelated to the language behind an application; "being not nice" is a bit fuzzy, to say the least.
That said, my main concern would be to justify Tcl/Tk, so that we could answer once and for all questions like "Why is Scid not developed in Java/Python/Gtk/Fortran etc?". Tcl/Tk seems like a reasonable choice : it has drawbacks, but they are compensated by its advantages. We would need to have Pascal's position on this issue. I am not sure we already had that conversation. The only reason I am fussing about that is that I am starting to build a FAQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
