Don't feel old! Tcl is only two years younger than me and three years older than Python, and hardly anyone considers Python a relic. One day I shall adequately understand why it is that Tcl fell out of favor. The core language was never bad nor yucky, but things did improve quite a bit when Tcl 8.0 came along, with internal typed representations and whatnot. However, I finally decided this was the year I "put up or shut up" and prove to myself an interesting theorem that language adoption is mostly marketing. Here's to hoping the quirky little devil known as Tcl shall usher in a newfound hipster resurgence of joyful web software!
