DKF: Here's some quick notes on things that people want to see done. No particular sorting.

  • Clarity from ActiveState on the TDK's long-term status
  • lsort's -dictionary option ordering to be available in string compare and lsearch.
  • String distance metric (e.g. Levenshtein) via new command: string distance.
  • Standard way of doing async I/O with coroutines
  • Basic beyond-the-BMP support (discussion with chw et al)
    • We think it's enough to convert internally to surrogate pairs in 8.7 when we're using at least the "string" type. Important thing is to be able to take a UTF-8 input from outside Tcl (e.g., of an emoji) and to be able to pass it through and get the same character out at the end when we output the string.
  • “TIP 469: A Callback for Channel-Exception Conditions”
  • Specialised type and accompanying commands for numerical data (inspired by Vectcl) - added by AM, a small group (Arjen, Jima, Christian, ...) will write a TIP on this.

I'm probably missing some. Please add in. (This is temporary area until we fold these into the main wishlists, etc.)

HaO: Donal, did you discuss about the TDK's status? IMHO specially the TCL compiler is crucial technology. Andreas wrote on CLT, that there are important pieces at ActiveState about that...
