> There's an argument that modern software used in production environments shouldn't be imbued with a sense of playfulness just because it's fun. Your point is a good one (applicable to any language or technology), but in defense of the OP, bringing fun doesn't preclude usefulness or power. A painful development process doesn't mean "serious software". Additionally, if you don't want to put Tcl in production per se, it can still be part of the development process in a prototyping capacity. It's got great UI facilities (CLI, sockets, GUI), great introspection, and a healthy amount of whip-it-up-atude to get meaningful results quickly (and yes, enjoyably).
