I can't comment on virtual-table shenanigans, but I'll enthusiastically confirm that thought. Not only is an in-memory database powerful and useful for all the obvious reasons, but (I would argue) the Tcl interface to SQLite is pe

I don't (personally) like to think of the type system as "everything is an auto-mutating and cached tagged union + string" - from the perspective of someone writing in Tcl, everything absolutely is a string. It's cool th

I don't think clam looks "ridiculous", but I suppose we're in to subjective stuff now. :) In principle this isn't really any different from GTK or Qt theming (where it's up to users to go forth and find themes

The definition of "standalone application" is a bit stronger - what's always been possible with "Tclkits" has been to embed the application code in an interpreter binary and distribute that , and the new core zipfs

The Redis protocol reads a lot like Tcl code.

If there's any better relational database API, in any language, than SQLite's Tcl interface, I've not seen it yet. (And the reasons SQLite's Tcl interface is so good would either be hard to replicate without Tcl, hard to

From the (little) I've seen of that world, I'm not sure the EDA vendors understand Tcl very well either; I wouldn't want to work with scripts for Cadence's schematic capture tool, and that's not because of Tcl, it&#

Most of what I'd call the UI - all the toolbars and pseudo-floating-windows - is basic bread-and-butter Tk stuff. The 3D context and CAD kernel would be the tricky bits. There are extensions floating around to work with OpenGL (or what
