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
• The community is great
• 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
• The community is great

Everything I post on the wiki or what is linked from the wiki is in the public domain. I would love to hear it if some of it was useful to you though. I have a Mercurial repository with some of my code at http://mjanssen.homeip.net/hg (only available if my machine is on, which should be during European office hours)
