So someone cited my HN comment[1] about Tcl from yesterday on this page. That's fine. I recall one issue I had with Tcl was lack of support for monotonic clocks (on Linux anyhow.) So a sleep might take a long time to expire if the system time changed to the past. I wonder if that ever got addressed.

- rkeene2 7y agoTIP 302 has been open to fix this in Tcl 8.7+, and there is atleast one implementation of the fix. I looked at addressing TIP 302, but it was complicated since Tcl virtualizes the clock (like it does the filesystem).
