[FW]: If you like Tcl for its high-level programming style, simplicity and cross-platform compatibility, you may also want to check out REBOL: [http://www.rebol.com/] Its main disadvantage is that it's closed-source (though there appears to be an initiative to develop an open-source clone [http://sourceforge.net/projects/primo/]). Another disadvantage Tcl'ers (such as myself) may find is that it has many, many data types (it even has a types for things like e-mail addresses) and has no built-in implementation of threads, tasks or an event loop. A threading engine has been implemented, but instead of internal bytecode-based threading, it threads by running one line of actual textual code at a time from each thread. It's stupid, I know, but technically it works. This has been an unpaid advertisement. ---- http://www.rebol.com/ What: REBOL to Tcl interface Where: From the contact Description: Contact posted a small example to comp.lang.tcl, demonstrating how simple it was to set up a client server between REBOL and Tcl/Tk interpreters so that REBOL could do graphics in that fashion. Intended only as a proof-of-concept demonstration. Updated: 07/1999 Contact: mailto:icimjs@loop.com ---- Another [Scripting Language]. ---- [Category Language]
