Alias for Stephane ARNOLD (french person).

Author of math::bigfloat in tcllib.


A similar French page can be found on the French Tcl Wiki [L1 ]. Cloning namespaces can be found at [L2 ].


My main skills are : C/UNIX (system programming with threads, sockets, and SystemV IPC), Java (w/o knowing 5% of the API), Lexers and Parsers (wrote one with SableCC in Java), a bit of Python and Tcl/Tk since 2003. I was amazed by the simplicity of the language when I looked at TkCvs source.


2006-03-05 - I am currently writing an extension providing a virtual machine for math code, very fast - at least when it will be coded in C. I have yet created a bytecode compiler in pure-Tcl, and the full virtual machine in pure-Tcl too. I will create a SourceForge project when I will have a full featured language. I have the intention to plug a procedural, C-style language with both dynamic and static arrays.

Its codename is (for the moment) : Tcl-Minit.

2006-04-21 - Tcl-Minit development is stopped. I have started a new project I may call Tcl-Rpn : a Forth alike language embedded in Tcl as a C extension.

Another project (2006-04-21) is a sort of client-server online Tcl packages repository browser. (sorry for the long long sentence) I call it TclPkg. It is designed to work on every platform where Tk, BWidget and TclXml are installed. The purpose of this software is to access to packages data via a distributed (at the sense of distributed computing) sort of repository. Then, the user, with a simple Internet access, downloads static (or even dynamically generated) up-to-date informations as XML files, and is able to open the resources (with its favorite Web browser) of his favorite Tcl-related packages, softwares and extensions.

2006-05-05 - See Tcl-Pkg on this wiki.
