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.

''If it ain't regular expressions, it ain't no good.''
