The really scary thought is that Doom would hypothetically run on any 386 machine -- can you imagine painting e.g. 160x120 on a cacheless 20 MHz 386 laptop I used to play Doom with a AMD386sx/33 with an ULSI coprocessor (a i387 clone)

Tcl has been improved a lot since the Tcl War (17 years ago!) including namespaces, module/package system, a native OO, a sane thread support, and Dicts. I am not sure if it is still true that Tcl doesn't scale well. By the way I wrote a t
