Oh God, I certainly hope so.

  Everything is a string! Seriously, I don't mind Tcl at all. Does that make me crazy?

    No tcl is nice. It's expressive and functional. I love not having to use the shift key every two characters for expressions. upvar/uplevel are awesome for creating new language contructs and meta programming. People ditched it because it wasn't cool, but it got the job done and remains useful and succinct.

    Actually, internally, everything is not a string, and has not been that way since... 10+ years. Everything is representable as a string, though. I actually like Tcl quite a bit even if I don't use it much these days: http://www.amazon.com/Tcl-Toolkit-2nd-John-Ousterhout/dp/032133633X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1381852799&sr=1-1&keywords=tcl+and+the+tk+toolkit&tag=dedasys-20 http://www.amazon.com/Tcl-Toolkit-2nd-John-Ousterhout/dp/032...

    A colleague told me about a Tcl feature called upvar. I contracted epilepsy on the spot. Luckily, this meant i couldn't listen while he told me about uplevel.

    yes, TCL sucks.
