I learned a little APL & J, and enjoyed doing anything mathy or with matrices. I didn't like them for generic office stuff.
I read 3-4 books on Lisp and can appreciate the power of it, but somehow I've never really enjoyed using it.
Lua was a bit too barebones for me.
Odly enough, Tcl is where I felt the most comfortable. It's partly because it's a command language, but I also found it full featured and lightweight. I didn't like that there is no official distribution though. There are commercial options and things on sourceforge and I'm not comfortable downloading from them. Anaconda Python has an option to include the Tcl interpreter, Tk GUI, and Wish as Python has a wrapper around Tk.
- badsectoracula 5y agoAbout Tcl on Windows, personally i use the one that MSYS2 installs which i assume is the most "vanilla".
- gompertz 5y agoI read that Sourceforge changed ownership and the shady downloads are no longer a thing to worry about.
