[AMG]: Not to take anything away from Nick, but the linked article and its comments attribute the development of [Tk] itself to Nick.  Sample quote: "Tk was initially born out of frustration that perl didn't have a native GUI at the time. Nick tirelessly developed Tk for over a decade."  [Tcl] isn't mentioned even once in the article or its comments.
