But I did like what he had to say about Tcl. Tcl is under-appreciated. A few gigs back, I did a lot of work in Tcl. We were writing a network management tool (long since subsumed into IBM Tivoli via multiple corporate mergers and put out to pasture: http://tinyurl.com/qxd4kw9). The dev team consisted mostly of people who were networking subject matter experts and not real programmers. Tcl turned out to be an excellent tool to let the SME's express their networking knowledge in executable form without having to learn C++, Java, or even Python. Tcl is also ridiculously easy to embed. It's literally one line of C code and you've got an embedded Tcl interpreter running. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
