Tcl/Tk is really, really simple. Probably the simplest GUI language by a
large margin. Their Hello, World program is 3 lines long, compared to dozens
or hundreds of lines for virtually any other toolkit:
#!/usr/bin/wish
button .hello -text "Hello, world" -command exit
pack .hello

Maybe. That's for you to decide. I used Tcl/Tk for several CS classes where
I wanted simple GUIs, and it did really well. OTOH, if you get seriously into
GUI apps you'll probably end up using GTK/Qt/wxWindows.
