I code perl and I code TCL. I like both. Perl has the magic and TCL has the voodoo. Add both together you get voodoo magic which is quite fascinating.

- forinti 7y agoThe thing I like the most about Tcl is Tk and Tk works nicely with Perl. I've used Tcl in various cases in which I needed to provide the client with and executable. Freewrap gives you a reasonably sized executable (it's a lot better than having your end-user install Java or even Perl).
- mst 7y agoNote also that while Perl's Tk.pm is based on an ancient fork of Tk, if you use Tcl.pm + Tkx.pm then perl embeds your "real" Tcl/Tk and talks to that so you get properly modern functionality. This is how the tkdocs.com examples in Perl maintain parity.
