Why Perl/Tk
- We are familiar with Perl, so a new GUI environment ramp-up should not take much effort
- Perl has big advantage against other languages ­ it requires significantly less development and debug effort
- Perl/Tk runs on all GUI-compatible platforms, so it could be used when multiple platforms compatibility is critical
- We should consider that for really big GUI projects the
- Perl interpreter limitations could become a bottleneck, but contemporary HW/SW trends make this consideration increasingly outdated
- We use Perl mostly for console or web applications development, while the GUI sector is already dominated by GTK, QT and tcl/tk, so why does Perl/Tk still remain a good alternative?
