I started using Tcl when working for a Unix-only ERP software company.  After spending two years becoming a bash ninja writing build and distribution scripts, management declared that we were moving to Windows.  I decided, never again!  Everything I wrote in Tcl ran everywhere, and I never looked back.

The four-word case for Tcl: stability, portability, orthogonality, power.  It's the worst possible tool if you're interested in persisting with the dominant crappy software development practices of the present day.

**Summer of Code:**


   * In 2008 I was a participant with the Tcl Community in Google's Summer of Code.  I mentored the [tcl-fuse] project.

   * I participated in 2009's GSoC as well; I mentored [The tcl-map GSoC2009 project].
