There were a number of really mind-blowing programmers that hung out in the Tcl ecosystem back around this time. antirez, Richard Succhenwirth, Jean Claude Whippler, more. So much of my early programming education was just wandering around the Tcler's wiki and messing around with the amazing random toy projects they came up with. And then dipping down into the C code for Tcl was always really cool - the Tcl C style has always really impressed me. And it seems like that style was carried on in related projects like SQLite.

Richard Suchenwirth (@suchenwi in #tcl on Libera irc) is alive and well and present. And yes, impressive developer[0]. Also agree largely on “Tcl C style” - historically well ordered, coherent codebase. [0] https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Richard+Suchenwirth https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Richard+Suchenwirth
