I wrote that... I think it's still pretty valid and encourage people to think about some of the lessons rather than just like or dislike of Tcl.

  Hi David, Thanks for your article. As you chime here, do you think the dev platform had also an impact on the language visibility (fossil vs github) ?
  • bonzini 9y ago
    Not David, but I think Tcl popularity was already going down way before GitHub became as popular as now. Around 2005 most projects were on SVN, and Tcl was already more or less "the language that you have to use together with Tk".

      Yeah, git and fossil and whatnot was all much later.

      >Tcl was already more or less "the language that you have to use together with Tk". And "expect", which is the only reason I've ever touched TCL in my professional career.
