I have. I quickly learned not to.
Tk is overlooked, though. It's not pretty, and its approach is archaic, but it's one of the few GUI toolkits that Just Works on every platform I tried it on with minimum fuss.
having used swing and modern js, i still prefer tk.

Kinda started using that with polars, force the scan/read schema as string, and down the road cast as the necessary type when needed. I'm calling it "just in time" data cleaning.
make everything a string then cast all data every time you want to use that data in a variable.
If it's not getting used in a mathematical function, I'm making it a string
stoi and atoi got ur back, homie
