> It's not re-written every other year in the latest hot language

What is with all of the weird sniping in this thread ?

There are legitimate reasons why people move to Rust and similar languages e.g. security, maintainability.

What project does this?

Redis tests are written in tcl! both perl and tcl are awesome!

It used to be written in Perl, back in the day... I suspect some of those tests are quite likely to be from back then.

I smiled when I read the title, thinking "How cool! Something I was using at a job I left ~16 years ago has _finally_ made it to version 1.6!" :-)

(I suspect the old LiveJournal Perl code probably didn't have it's version numbers carry over into this somewhat more modern version...)
