FW is for FWongo, aka Alex Liebowitz. You might see me in the Tcl'ers chat every so often, or on [Everything2] as "quoi?". If you like Tcl for its high-level programming style, simplicity and cross-platform compatibility, you may want to check out REBOL: http://www.rebol.com/ Its main disadvantage is that it's closed-source. Another disadvantage Tcl'ers (such as myself) may find is that it has many, many data types (it even has a types for things like e-mail addresses) and has no built-in implementation of threads or tasks or an event loop. A threading engine has been implemented, but instead of internal bytecode-based threading by bytecodes, it threads by running one line of actual textual code at a time from each thread. It's stupid, I know, but technically it works. This has been an unpaid advertisement. Oh, and I have a website! http://www.flamingsphere.com/doubt/
