Aren't TCL and Perl stringly-typed scripting languages?
- Philpax 1y agoYou won't catch me defending them ;)
- uh2010 1y agoYes - at least in Tcl, _everything_ is a string
- pjmlp 1y agoNot everything, and this already changed a while back. > The core of the Tcl interpreter has been replaced with an on-the-fly compiler that translates Tcl scripts to byte codes; a new interpreter then executes the byte codes. In earlier versions of Tcl, strings were used as a universal representation; in Tcl 8.0 strings are replaced with Tcl_Obj structures ("objects") that can hold both a string value and an internal form such as a binary integer or compiled bytecodes. http://www.ira.inaf.it/Computing/manuals/tcl/man-8.0/Changes8.0.html http://www.ira.inaf.it/Computing/manuals/tcl/man-8.0/Changes...
- pjmlp 1y agoNo for Perl, in Tcl kind of, it changed in Tcl 8, already long time ago. http://www.ira.inaf.it/Computing/manuals/tcl/man-8.0/Changes8.0.html http://www.ira.inaf.it/Computing/manuals/tcl/man-8.0/Changes...
