It is possible, but you will loose a lot, the convenience of classes,
objects, and procedures for both widgets and handlers.

Speedwise the Tcl/Tk interface is reasonable but not spectacular.

We are currently investingating GTk as a new graphics toolkit. First
results are impressive as it comes to speed and ease of programming.
