I like what John Ousterhout has done for the history of computer science. I had a chance to exchange notes on Tcl with him when he was at Sun Labs. Over the years I lerned that Rabit holes stifle innovation. The ability to rapidly prototype and prove a concept is a key element in utilizing Tcl. I personally prefer to prove a concept with a language that I can prototype with, such as Tcl, 100x faster than a systems language. The pace of invention moves too fast to ignore this advantage.
