Don't ask what FW stands for. It's not really embarrassing, it's just silly. Plus I'm going to change my Wiki handle soon anyway. I tend to use the name Metaxy nowadays in most places. Aka Alex Liebowitz. You might see me in the Tcl'ers chat every so often, or on Everything2 as "quoi?". I hate expr. If you like Tcl for its high-level programming style, simplicity and cross-platform compatibility, you may also want to check out REBOL: http://www.rebol.com/ Its main disadvantage is that it's closed-source (though there appears to be an initiative to develop an open-source clone [L1 ]). 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, 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 (well, once I finish redoing it under a new domain): [L2 ] Some code/writing of mine:
