But if you look at it from the point of view of say, having to count from 1-10 the syntax is horrible. The real killer for TCL initially was having to build extensions into the binary. If a lib needed BLT you had to rebuild TCL with BLT, then another library need a conflicting add-in you ended up with multiple TCL installs and a dll-hell of trying to get the right libs to play nicely. Don't know if thats fixed.
