I was comparing it to the average RAM of computers when Tcl/Tk was still in its hype cycle and you heard bloat arguments against it, which must've been the 90s.

- pmarin 7y agoI am sorry I misunderstood your comment.
- mhd 7y agoMy fault, could've expressed it better. And as someone who actually like(d) Tcl/Tk, I understand the urge to defend it perfectly. If we're comparing UI implementation languages, it doesn't look good from a historic perspective. PostScript was pretty much better than all its successors. Tcl/Tk had a decent approach as something Unix-y, and I don't even want to know what will come after JS/CSS/HTML if we're continuing that arc.
