What do you have against bourne shell scripting? I thinks it's probably the most under-rated language/programming paradigm I know. I really don't understand all the hate. Also, what didn't you like about Tcl? I find it much more in-line with the C world-view than python is; It's C-interface is a lot cleaner than Pythons as well. My language-choice algorithm is: sh + unix DSLs -> Tcl/Tcl+C -> SML/Haskell/Scheme -> C -> * Where '*' is whatever language has a library I need, or a language that I'm required to use.
