The very few non-programmer customers I have _that actually want a program_ (most want PPTX slides, ugh) want one that you double click on, and that has a GUI. I guess with Julia I could make a shell script (or in windows a CMD script) that calls `julia -q` … but then I’d be at a loss as to what GUI framework I would use.

I got so used to having Tk around in Python … I know Python is a different beast, but is there a “cannonical” GUI toolkit that people use? Because you mentioning non-programmer customers immediately reminded me that I needed to look into this.
