Wish I had this page when messing around with Eggdrop[1] back in the late 90s.
As a self-taught novice programmer that started with QBasic and had moved on to Turbo Pascal, I found Tcl to be very confusing and it left a rather negative impression.
Reading this page now though, it seems a lot more logical and reasonable than it appeared at the time.
