That Tcl is a toy language is not a misperception, but a patently obvious observation by a very, very large number of programmers.

I've been using it against my will for the last few months, and recently discovered, to my complete shock, that '''braces in comments are syntactically significant'''.

So I google it and find all these very helpful posts from Tclers helping newbies to understand why.

The fact that braces in comments are syntactically significant is not something I want ''explained'' to me. I want it to behave in a reasonable way. It's a fucking comment and I want the interpreter to ignore it, for fuck's sake!

Tcl is little more than an extremely poor implementation of Lisp.
