If we prefer TK over GTK why not use the lua Tk bindings?

When I saw this discussion starting I googled the Lua Tk bindings, and it turned out [1] that they apparently haven't been updated since 1998.

What about ltcltk [1], it's from 2010? However I never used it, I just did some simple GUIs with the GTK+ binding.

There is a real, serious problem with the predictability of GTK+ installations on macosx. It feels like each version of macosx in either 32 or 64 bit needs a different version of the bundle, and on top of that it hard to predict which one is needed. Installation of any GTK+ bundle always appears to work, but if you have the wrong one the runtime crashes. Best wishes, Taco
