I did write a Tcl web system back in the 2000's that was close to the Tk programming model, although not quite a one-to-one. Here is an example of side by side programs for Tk and Aejaks: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/%C3%86jaks+compares+to+Tcl%2F...

Some other screen shots: http://aejaks.sourceforge.net/Screen_Shots/index.html

This was made with the Java based Echo toolkit, and the Jtcl interpreter (Tcl implemented in Java.)

tk works on mobile as well.
mobile is much more akin to desktop development because the API's/etc are specific to each device type (android/iphone).

The web is a different beast from that too.
