Version 9 of Julian M Noble

AKA JMN

http://cyberclad.com I like programming in TCL and Erlang - preferably in the one project. I'm not the Julian Noble that does interesting stuff with Forth - but one day I hope to be *a* Julian Noble that does interesting stuff with Forth - It seems such a bizarrely mindbending language.

I get frustrated by GUIs and applications that block while doing some background task, so I'm a big fan of threads. So much so that I think I'm sometimes guilty of using them where an event-driven, or multi-process structure may have been simpler. John Ousterhout's: 'Why Threads Are A Bad Idea (for most purposes)' didn't sway me ;)

I'm rabidly opposed to the GPL. I've not yet had the guts or inspiration (or organisation) to contribute any code to the wiki - but if/when I do - consider it public domain.

The ghosts of VB haunt this TCLer
