Deploying can be a bit of a pain, and Tcl definitely takes some getting used to, but recent Tcl/Tk versions don't look like poop anymore, and, apart from the ridiculously verbose imperative style, I found working with Tk widgets quite pleasant compared to frameworks written in more static languages. See http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/cl-tk/ for the glue code I used. For a more retro programming experience, CL and Tcl/Tk are actually a rather good fit.

I actually rather like the approach, even if I did not try to build anything very complex, which is why I try to maintain the latter. About Cells: while Cello failed to materialize, there are Cells based GUI bindings, to Tk and GTK+. I actually rather like the approach, even if I did not try to build anything very complex, which is why I try to maintain the latter.
