Sounds a great deal like what I've gone through in my attempts to evangelize Tcl as of late. http://morderwerk.de/Spoken.png http://morderwerk.de/He%20really.png http://morderwerk.de/ha

Thanks! You are very sweet. I sincerely hope tänzer sets the right tone for not just the Tcl community, but also so many others that appear to be aging only on account of lacking an influx of new (young) developers. Writing quality code s

It's astounding the crap [upvar] lets you get away with, ESPECIALLY making your own loop constructs. I'd be boned without it for doing request parsing without the ability to share a string buffer by name, for instance.

I was wondering why I woke up to a 500 Internal Server Error, and why I had ran out of fds. That explains it! Having said that, I'm very keen these days on the idea of implementing usage of libevent into core Tcl 8.6, which would be a

Gimme a break I just woke up :D But these sorts of little breakages are exactly the thing I want nobody to suffer again as much as possible. And now it seems the world deems it necessary for me to have an HN account! I'll be here all d
