I didn't believe I'd see the day when a larger Tcl project reaches HN front page. This looks really exciting and ambitious. John Ousterhout mentioned in one of the interviews that he regrets he didn't manage to produce the Tcl compiler while working in Sun. While in my day to day work I don't feel the need for the compiler (starkits are good enough) it might attract more performance concerned people to this powerful but forgotten language. For me returning to Tcl is always an immense pleasure. This is what it gives out of the box: - convenience of bash - power and elegance of Lisp - self-containing no-dependency nature of Go - clarity of Python - probably unique for the entire industry reliable cross-platform GUI toolkit - simplicity of Dodecalogue What Tcl is missing: - good handle on concurrency in bigger projects (with scale, events lead to spaghetti or mega state machines). I tried to address this one myself by developing Golang/CSP style concurrency library https://github.com/securitykiss-com/csp https://github.com/securitykiss-com/csp - large community
