While the Things holding Tcl back may raise valid points, this page was created to make sure the optimistic side of things is not left behind.
Tcl has been progressing over the years for several reasons:
alled, unsurprisingly, Tklib, not to mention toolsets like BWidget
reewrap and Tclkit, the latter especially as it depends on a virtual file syst em and makes for tiny single-file distributions
While I raised the concern of oo, db etc on the other page, let me be the first to enthusiastically say I love TCL! Written well, its extremely flexible, quickly developed , and ultimately legible post implementation, unlike other scripting languages you might be aware of. ;)
My thanks to the TCT for continuing to run through the versions, adding great features along the way (regexp package improvements!) and not letting this great scripting language die.
