This is mostly idle musing that's unlikely to lead anywhere. The question began by asking myself, could writing with perl and TcL/TK be sufficient for "modern" applications that played well on the modern Internet? And, would there be any advantage over, say, using Python instead.
Advantages:
super-duper lightweight
super portable
dependency light
more secure? (decades of use)
Disadvantages:
Fewer libraries for fewer things?
Looks old fashioned
Like I said, mostly just idle musing.
