Joackim Kock has written, "Alpha's Tcl mode is really nice with syntax colouring, automatic indentation, comment handling, keyword and variable completion, templates insertion, many navigation features (e.g. Cmd-double- click on a proc name and be taken to the place where that proc is defined), and seamless integration with the built-in Tcl interpreter (or an external one if you prefer). . . .
90 percent of Alpha's functionality is written in Tcl, so it is very easy to tweak it and extend it. . . .
Alpha would benefit from getting new Tcl-competent users. The development of Alpha seems to have stagnated a little bit, but each time there is some feedback and suggestions, there is a burst in development activity..."
