Tcl/TK 9 "Batteries Included" binary installer for Windows

https://www.tcl3d.org/bawt/download.html

Tcl/TK was updated to v9 recently:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41661906

but the binaries haven't been readily available --- compiling from source is straight-forward on most platforms, but for Windows, a pre-compiled option is far more accessible to most potential users.

The link was supposed to be to:

https://www.tcl3d.org/bawt/download.html#tclbi

but the #tclbi part got stripped off --- arguably #tclpure would be a better destination, since it would afford folks a choice of "Batteries Included" or no.

I'm curious, with all the new frameworks and trends over the course of years to creare GUI applications, do you think Tcl/Tk is still keeping up with competition? Nowadays many people had shifted to considering the Web the new UI and solution like Electron and Tauri seem to be the direction we are moving toward
WillAdams•8h ago
At least Tcl/TK apps aren't complained about have multiple hundred MB run-times and multiple GB memory footprints...

For my part, I'm back to analysis-paralysis, and I can't figure out which GUI toolkit and programming environment I should use for a project (that I can't decide on the specific nature of the project is a separate problem which is driving much of this indecision).
