It is.

The title above is an exact quote from correspondence I received in the summer 
of 2007, and echoes what many, many others have written or said to me.

They're wrong.

Well, they're right, of course:  [Expect] gives ''them'' the appearance of dormancy.
I haven't researched what all goes into this, but I'm almost certainly there are
basic errors of fact afoot.

It's certainly true that Expect, and [Tcl] more generally, is managed conservatively.
It '''is''' maintained, though, and with considerable care and expertise.

I think it'd be great for people to mention here the evidence they have of Expect's
inactivity; perhaps we can collaborate to understand better its true state.
