Hyperbole aside, LTk is indeed a fine library.

Absolutely. Much richer event stream and low-level access when needed. 
Greater performance, of course. And it is not clear the Togl widget can 
be effectively driven over a pipe.

The larger point I would make is, why not? The pipe was a good idea to 
get going quickly, but FFI is not all that hard -- I am sure Mr. Burdick 
could do it in a few days, possibly by finding existing O/S code that 
talks to Tcl/Tk via CFFI and using that as a starting point.
