Thanks for the clarification. I don't use Tcl for normal work anymore (though I still use it for small things), but it still has a very special place in my heart. It's one of my favorite languages to program in.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense then. The "implemented in. Not a clone" made it sound like the actual, core language implementation had been switched over to Go... and clearly that didn't sound right.

I am trying to figure out what you mean by this. I was under the impression the official Tcl source was in C. Can you provide more of an explanation?

And if someone moved to a high cost of living area because they wanted to make more, is that different in some way? Would not paying them the amount for a similar quality of life not be the same type of discrimination?

I tend to describe programming as building a house of cards in your mind. It's a way of thinking about it that's used sometimes to explain why interrupting a developer can be so frustrating (because they have to rebuild the house)

So, if people lower in the totem pole mess up, they should never be fired? Because it might impact future hiring practices? The higher up on the totem pole you are, the less it seems to matter how well you actually do your job.

It was not my intent to say that it's not possible to lose weight when you have a thyroid issue. Rather, my point was that your weight loss/gain is not determined solely by the amount of food and activity in your life. You can mai

While those are indeed major factors, there are others that come into play. For example, a change in your thyroid behavior can cause a loss/gain in weight without changing anything else.
