Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar)Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar)Posted Jun 28, 2012 22:44 UTC (Thu) by wahern (subscriber, #37304)In reply to: Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar) by dashesy Parent article: Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar)
Tk is written in Tcl, but the C API is a first class citizen, which is how you end up with things like Perl/Tk. And Tk is widely considered a breeze to work with, and (correct me if I'm wrong) may have been one of the first toolkits to handle widget nesting, placement, and resizing automagically.
So, it's a GUI toolkit for C which may be the easiest to use of all of them, even accounting for Qt, Silverlight, etc.

Tk's geometry managers (the packer, the placer and the gridder) are still better than any other toolkit geometry managers I've seen.

And when I recently had a look at Qt I specifically sought
such a placement function, and was quite disappointed that it wasn't included.

Qt has quite a decent set of layout managers, which one were you missing?
