Having actually tried to learn this language, I'm astounded by its pattern matching facilities. Makes grep look primitive.
Being a slow starter with tcl, where would I start trying to
1. write a snobol interpreter in tcl, or 2. write snobol pattern matching tools in tcl?

escargo 30 Dec 2003 - I will just note that the successor to Snobol, Icon, also has a page on this wiki. It's pattern matching is different than Snobol's, but also very powerful. It is not based on regular expressions, but does pattern matching with other facilities.
