It's thanks to David I got exposed to Tcl, he gave me a five minutes intro and gave me a book for the weekend, and I got sucked into Tcl back then. A few weeks later I tried to write a toy interpreter for Tcl in C and this was a turning point for me (years later I wrote a proper interpreter for Tcl btw). This in turn is why Redis is Tcl-ish in some way (for example command names, and INCR everything-is-a-string semantics), and why the Redis test is written in Tcl. Thank you David. We worked together with another programmer called Marco Pantaleoni that also inspired me for a number of things. I remember these days as a wonderful learning experience.
