kennykb writes on comp.lang.tcl:

Perhaps the best head-to-head comparison of Tcl and VB in the context of adding GUI to a legacy engineering application was written by no less a light than Brian Kernighan (co-inventor of C, among his multitude accomplishments). You can find it at: http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/tcl95/kernighan.html

The postscript version [of the article above] is > 11 MB. I've created a pdf version of it (~200KB) that can be gotten from here: http://www.lucidway.org/Marty/Tcl/Docs/kernighan.pdf

A nice Cheat Sheet for moving from VB6 to Tcl here: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=11951&group_id=10894 RS: Hm, interesting.. but even on A4-Landscape, I can't print it decently...

LES: if that is still useful to anyone (two years later!), here [L1 ] is a remodeled page, and here [L2 ] is this remodeled page in PDF.
