I've read that Gnocl doesn't yet have all the functionality of the standard Tk and Ttk widgets. Is that still true? I need pretty much all the functionality there is, especially for text, canvas, listbox, and ttk::treeview widgets, and the grid and pack geometry managers. Also, there are a lot of existing Tcl/Tk programs (including mine, and many more) that will work out of the box if Tk is in the iso and not if it isn't. Far fewer as yet, I think, are the existing programs that use Gnocl.
Even my tk-8.5.5-runtime .PET straight out of Slackware (minus only demos and man pages) is less than 750 KB. Surely you can get Tcl, Tk,
and Gnocl to fit into the iso at much less than the 4 MB that WhoDo was originally considering for Tcl and Tk alone.

It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.
