This may be ignorance on my part, but AFAIK, there are no TCL bindings to sun api's. In my experience, more developers (including myself) are more proficient in C than TCL. While TCL is in /usr/sfw, I would like to see the ports system available to any solaris user whether or not they have the software companion installed (read: binary distribution).

First, I know nothing about darwinports, so I'm acting from ignorance
in that respect. I'm more familiar with FreeBSD ports, having been a
user of that some years back.
But why the proposed switch from Tcl to C? I'm a big Tcl fan, and am
always curious when people propose replacing Tcl and wonder why? Thanks.
