Purpose: Place to provide reasons for using [Jacl] and [Swank]
----
[BAJ] started this 27 May 2004 and hopes to periodically add new items to the list (others please join in as well).  The  items (at least as added by [BAJ]) are in no particular order of importance.

   * While the [tcllib] has added many useful features to Tcl, it has the following restriction "the module must be Tcl only: no C extensions. This minimizes the barrier to use -- not everybody has the means or desire to compile extensions.".  This restriction, while very appropriate, provides a significant limitation to the types of features added.  As Jacl/Swank extensions can be done as cross-platform Java bytecode files this restriction probably isn't necessary.
