I remember when TCL was a scripting language.
- rkeene2 9y agoIt still is, there are hundreds of contributors and a new release (Tcl v8.6.8) came out 22-DEC-2017. There are plans for a new major release, Tcl 9, as well. Tcl still has many unique features that other languages lack. One new highly experimental feature is TclQuadCode, which can compile Tcl to machine code using LLVM. It's been in progress for over 5 years and it is amazing work. Compiling a dynamic language is a difficult task.
