Real name Mark Janssen (Tcl Chatroom nick: mjanssen). I have been using Tcl since 2004 and I love it.
There are several reasons I love Tcl:
- It supports Unicode in code and GUI
- It is truely interactive: Open a console in your application and see what is really going on
- Tclkit or Starkit deployment is very, very convenient
- It is very easy to install libraries without changing config files all over the place
- The community is great
- Very simple syntax and everything is a string: This allows for some funcky stuff like redefining proc
- The C-API is one of the easiest of any of the ones I have seen (Perl, Python, Ruby) this makes it very easy to wrap C libraries. See for an example readline
