According to Svenn Are Bjerkem <spam@bjerkem.de>:
:I thought about using Java because I have a nice powerbook to program
:on, but I also have tcl/tk. Deployment is a problem. I can use Java
:WebStart, but I would have to install a lot of java virtual machines. As
:far as I have seen the Starkit can solve my distribution problem. There
:are many reasons for using tcl.

If everything else were equal between developing between Java or Tcl
(and, granted, it isn't), then deployment via Java .jar files seems to
me to be a simpler matter than deploying via starkits.

The reason is that it seems a greater likelihood that the runtime for a
Java .jar would be present on a random client computer than the tclkit runtime.
For that matter, I'd expect there to be more precompiled and ready to download
platform binary distributions for Java runtime than tclkit runtimes.
