Why tie Julia to any GUI toolkit? Some prefer Qt, others GTK+, and so on. So better support toolkits via external packages so that everyone can choose the most appropriate one. For what it’s worth, Tk is available via the Tk.jl package. See also this blog post, though it might not be completely up to date.
