Now that I am wrestling with wrestling with the GUI API, I am thinking that it probably makes more sense to write a Tcl/Tk API and loader to allow you to write GUI objects completely in Tcl/Tk.
I think this is the idea that Krzysztof had in mind when he wrote widget. That was before Thomas' loaders and the CLR API. Now I think it shouldn't be too hard to turn [widget] into a loader and API.
Any thoughts, ideas, etc. on this? I am not the Tcl or loader expert, so I'd like to hear from people how feasible and useful they think this will be.

I'm not an expert at all, but I've got an idea (that originaly come from matju), what about an external that simply do something like this?
sys_vgui("package require %guiobject\n", guiobject)

Matju just pointed out that I missed Federico's post that he has created just this:

No, this isn't what Hans is talking about. He's talking about server-side externals written in tcl. It's so that GUI externals can be written as two parts in the same language, instead of one in C and one in Tcl.
