Tcl/Tk has saved me back in the day. The Windows distribution BAWT/Magicsplat are timely updated

..... but they do not come with Next Scripting Framework.

There was a new release on September 16, 2026

In the early 2000s, I used the Tcl/Tk bindings to the VxWorks target management API. The application hotloaded and -unloaded test modules for a hardware in the loop lab. Tcl allowed the first working concept to come to life in a few days. I have no idea how long it would have taken with with C++ library.
