During February, 1998, [John Ousterhout] left Sun to create Scriptics, a company dedicated to scripting tools, applications, and services. During May, 2000, Scriptics changed their name to [Ajuba Solutions]. Note that as of November, 2000, [Interwoven] bought Ajuba Solutions and hosted, briefly, one of the web's Tcl resource web sites, the [Tcl Developer Xchange]. This web resource is now hosted by [ActiveState] at http://tcl.activestate.com/, with a safer long term [PURL] to use [[ http://www.purl.org/tcl/home/ ]], or, for a less oyster-oriented name [[[LV] Of course hopefully all readers realize that Persistent URLs, or PURL, have '''NOTHING''' to do with the programming language [Perl], OR the products of oysters (pearls), OR the one-time famous singer Pearl Bailey]] , http://www.tcl.tk/ . Interwoven does not produce (obviously) Tcl/Tk products. In a debate in 1998, Richard Stallman and John Ousterhout were talking about the relationship of profit and open source [http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19980824S0012]. This led Stallman to call Scriptics a "parasite". He also said: "I don't think Scriptics is necessary for the continued existence of Tcl". He was right and Tcl is alive and well today! ---- [CL] published several articles [http://www.phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/scriptics.html] on Scriptics. <> Company
