A venerable, if aging, [GUI] ToolKit originally developed for [Tcl]. The combination is known as TclTk and allows rapid, portable [GUI] development, as it is available on many different platforms. Bindings to [Tk] have also been written for many other languages, such as for [Perl] ([Perl/Tk | http://www.perltk.org/]) or [Python] ([Tkinter | http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/]).

While more modern ToolKit~s such as [GTK] and [Qt] are nowadays the focus of attention, [Tk] remains the most easily deployable choice for cross-platform [GUI] programming.

[wxWidgets] is a younger attempt to achieve a similar degree of portability, by providing a layer over native ToolKit~s for which portable [GUI] applications can be written, but it has yet to achieve even a fraction of the ubiquity of [Tk].
