To me it seems like he goes a long way to reassure the current Tcl/Tk userbase
that Tcl/Tk is still alive.
And finally he agrees with the people here that want Java/Tk because he
says it would be possible to write some computation-expensive procedure
in Java and use Tk for the user-interface. He than points to an existing
Java/Tcl interface. I've seen it and wondered why anyone would want that
and why they didn't do the same for Tk....
