Version 13 of vigal

My name is Igal Vigonich and this is my public page on this wiki. All are welcome!!!


So, why am I here? According to this wonderful wiki, which I discovered just about a week ago, 15 years of using Tcl apparently make me a Tcl'er. And after reading it since, I feel that I might have something to say and maybe even do. So here I am, in my first ever endeavor of this kind, to see how it goes.

More later...


PYK 2016-03-30: Greetings, Igal! How on Earth did you manage to use Tcl for 15 years before you discovered The Wiki?!

Thanks Nathan! As for your question, I guess I'm just an old-timer. When I started with Tcl in 1997 there was a hard-copy of the classical "Programming with Tcl/Tk" book going around in my department and I just learned it from there and later used locally installed docs when necessary. Just never thought of looking up the community. Now I think I probably should have as there is a lot of interesting stuff here.
