incrTcl is nice
also tcl 8.5 has it's own object system (available as tclOO extension
for earlier versions)
also is possible to make a tiny object system in pure-tcl
I've made mine - it has public/provate methods, widget hiding, it's very
much like tk "objects" - see http://wiki.tcl.tk/18151 very beginning of
the code defines the object system

I'm actually working to a dataflow canvas in pure tcl
it actually implements every functionality of the pd canvas and has the
same feel, it can mimick the style of pd or max, I added autocomplete
feature (bash-style completion)
I'm planning adding segmented patch cords (although I'm now stuck with
complex line-routing algorithms)
