While the [Things holding Tcl back] may raise valid points, this page was created to make sure the optimistics side of things is not left behind...

Tcl has been progressing over the years for several reasons:
   * an enthusiastic community 
   * friendly discussion and help on comp.lang.tcl
   * many people working on the Tcl/Tk core
   * active technical discussions on the chat
   * a wiki with lots and lots of gems (hey, let's call it Ruby - eh, no, that name is taken)
   * a license which supports sharing and reuse
   * copy on write, everything is a string, file events
   * Tk, Expect, and more
