It may be the case that you've got Good Style, for whatever reason (inherent gift, good training, school of experience), but my take ( personal experience/view only ) on the two languages is that C style largely falls out of data structures[0], and Tcl out of action-directive (commands). I think of Tcl as a long lever where a small amount of code lifts a lot, either by composability[1], or leaning on heavy-lifting extensions, but very command-oriented none-the-less. By comparison, I feel my C more often is centered around structs. [0] Show me your code and conceal your data structures, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your data structures, and I won't usually need your code; it'll be obvious. -Eric S.
