I started using Tcl when working for a Unix-only ERP software company. After spending two years becoming a bash ninja writing build and distribution scripts, management declared that we were moving to Windows. I decided, never again! Everything I wrote in Tcl ran everywhere, and I never looked back.

The four-word case for Tcl: stability, portability, orthogonality, power.

Summer of Code:

• In 2008 I was a participant with the Tcl Community in Google's Summer of Code. I mentored the tcl-fuse project.
• I participated in 2009's GSoC as well; I mentored The tcl-map GSoC2009 project.

• At the Twenty-fifth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2018) I presented the paper "A Reboot of the Starpack Build Process for Tcl 8.6 and Beyond" [L1 ]
• At the Eighteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2011) I presented the paper "A Novel Method for Representing Hierarchies in a Relational Database Using Bignums and Sqlite" (pdf)
