Does anyone know if there is any work merging IconX with Tk, comparable to
what is happeing with Perl and Tk?
I don't know of any such work, and I think I'd be one of the earlier persons
to hear about it. Tk has some nice ideas that may be worth borrowing, but
its not the best model for user interface programming I've seen; for example,
DEC's Trestle system has a very nice design.
There are lots of different opinions about what language support for user
interface programming in Icon should look like. I think its very likely
that improvements and alternative sets of tools will appear; what they
look like will depend on who implements them.
