This looks like a surprisingly nice web server framework. It is a pity that TCL Shell (tclsh) didn't become the default shell over bash. TCL was released before bash but I am unsure if tclsh was bundled with it at the time.

Bourne shell compatibility is a killer feature after all. But I certainly prefer Tcl over PowerShell/rc/xonsh and others that didn't bother with this. If Tcl had fixed its exec (cf https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/424.md https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/424.md & https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/259.md https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/259.md), I think it could have really worked as a shell.

I would love an alternate timeline where we got Tcl in the browser instead of JavaScript.

  As much as I like TCL, I would much rather it was Lisp or Scheme on the browser.
