There are a couple reasons something like Parrot would be useful. One, as
stated by the author, multiple backends will help give you independence from
a particular GUI toolkit. Not everyone can or will use Tcl/Tk. Two, even
though I could use Tcl/Tk directly, I find the Python Tkinter and PMW
interfaces much easier to use than the raw Tcl interface, mostly because you
are using a language with a more studly software engineering foundation.
