We can speculate that Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz [http://wikipedia.org/Leibniz] (1646-1716), who largely invented our modern notions of binary arithmetic, feedback, and symbolic computation, would have liked [Tcl] if only in appreciation for [tclsh]'s provision of an interactive propositional calculator [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz#Calculator], as well as the language's [Unicode]-savvy adeptness with human scripts. Leibniz' current reputation in the Anglo world is less than he deserves, testimony to Newton's powers of vilification. ---- [[Maybe mention the connection with monads.]] ---- [Category Person]
