[US] The [http://www.raspberrypi.org/%|%Raspberry Pi] is out now, though still difficult to get one.


[dzach] Tcl/Tk 8.5 is very easy to install on Raspberry Pi:

 sudo apt-get install tcl8.5
 sudo apt-get install tk8.5

or one can try compile tcl8.6 for it.

Together with a [http://elinux.org/RPi_Gertboard%|%Gertboard] it will be a nice playground for Tcl/Tk.

Mine is on order I can keep people posted. The project we have in mind is to get it to serve a special purpose set of USB data acquisition devices on the net.  Yes I know there are ethernet USB extenders but we want a bit more smarts on top of the device.

TCL on the Raspberry PI... 

This sounds indeed as a very nice thing.

It can actually be a very nice hw-platform to promote TCL in these TCL slow times.

If i get the time/energy, i might make some short tutorials for TCL.

The image 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian.zip already includes Tcl/Tk8.5.
Socket communications seem to work fine, for (a) tcl socket client and server on the RasPi, and (b) tcl socket server on RasPi and tcl socket client on another Linux machine.
