I've written both Tcl/Tk code and Lazarus and i think the latter is much faster to make things: not only you have a visual WYSIAWYG[0] editor but also a very rich framework.
[0] A for Almost as technically the program can compile with different GUI backends (Win32, Gtk, Qt, etc) :-P
Some of us don't want to spend an hour rat wrestling to get a form up -- a form that won't even tolerate resizing very well. Tcl/Tk is pretty much the fastest way to go from zero to functional GUI I've ever seen -- especially if you already have some functionality that works from the command line and just need to wrap it. It's also available from Python as Tkinterm and is amenable to repl driven development.
