There was an interesting article by Ousterhout (Tcl creator) about scripting languages versus system programming languages some years ago. I think I read it in one of the print computer magazines that existed at the time - Software Development Magazine, Unix Review, Dr. Dobb's Journal, C User's Journal, or some such. I wonder whether he was inspired to write that article after this post (mentioned elsewhere in this thread):

- bch 10y agoAre you referring to this: http://www.tcl.tk/doc/scripting.html http://www.tcl.tk/doc/scripting.html ?
- vram22 10y agoJust took a quick look at it. Need to read more, which I will, but pretty sure it is that one. I doubt he would write more than one article on that topic, also it is slightly long (about 24 PgDn keystrokes on my PC :), which I remember from before. Excellent. I thought of googling for relevant keywords to check if the article was online (after posting my previous comment here), but you saved me the trouble. Thanks!
