	tl;dr: Tcl/Tk 9.1.0 is in development with stable releases targeted for September 2026. Tcl additions include new commands (`unicode` normalization, monotonic `timer`, `lfilter`), expanded C99 math functions in `expr`, new C APIs, and improved large-list memory efficiency. Tk gains screen reader accessibility, initial bidirectional/RTL text support, a `ttk::toggleswitch` widget, rotated label text, and improved treeview/notebook states.
	HN Discussion: ↑Tcl is quirky and fun to play with but risky for professional use ↑Tcl's string-based metaprogramming and design is elegantly powerful ↑Tk remains the easiest GUI toolkit, deserving of modern updates •Nostalgic recollection of past Tcl/Tk projects and ecosystem (AOL, SQLite, Perl/Tk) ↑Appreciation for the core team's stability and continued legacy (e.g., VLSI CAD tools)
