TCL happens to be my first language. It is a command-based scripting language. Think Lisp, but where most things are also strings. Kinda hacky, but allows for very flexible syntax.

- iLoveOncall 4y agoThis doesn't sound at all like a marketable skill :/
- killjoywashere 4y agoSort of like Cobol or MUMPS. There are systems which adopted Tcl for some reason 20 years ago and now the whole business depends on it and they will pay whatever it takes to keep it running.
- sshine 4y agoI don't imagine that there are many Tcl jobs listed. The posting said that Joe is a Tcl/Tk maintainer; presumably why he puts this on his CV is not because of Tcl's current market share, but because being a maintainer for a historically widespread language reveals a skill set. If you ever thought of embedding Lua into something, Tcl isn't a bad alternative.
