I have just took a quick glimpse and the source seems to be written very clearly. It is an excellent example of how coding in tcl looks like. Perhaps this could be used as an example when you are learning to program in tcl.
I don't use tcl neither I know what the actual state of available libraries the performance is, but tcl honors its fame as an easy to read language, this is not Perl.
One feature I like a lot is the ability to create secure interpreters that bypass military specifications.
Perhaps some benchmarks could give us an idea of what is the current state of affairs in the tcl world, but sometimes the bottle neck code just recurs to calling C libraries. I didn't see that ffi calling here.
- mst 12y agoRelating for xan: One of the things that keeps my heart beating and my pulse flowing is knowing that one day, maybe ONE DAY Tcl can take the limelight again on the stage of web application development and maybe even curl up into a cozy little niche in the ever privacy-abrogating cabal of IoT stuff, too. My choice of language for implementing tänzer is not just due to my love for Tcl's minimalist syntax, but also, as you intimate upon, Tcl's quite lovely FFI. I mean, that's what it was meant to do from the get-go, amirite??? Anyhow. I'd like to rewrite tänzer's guts in C, in a very mongrel2-like fashion, but perhaps less featureful but just as kind to binding by other language FFIs as itself.
