> Oh and the guy programmed in TCL.

That's a pretty big red flag :-)

Tcl feels like a bastard child of Lisp and shell, and is beautiful in its own unique and quirky way. I'm not surprised at all that someone would find it lovable ;)

I have a love/hate relationship with it.

Every couple of years, I spend a month or two writing almost exclusively in TCL for personal projects.

Its the same with Perl. And expect scripts...

Every few years I look at Scid, the chess app, and think about learning Tcl just to be able to add stuff to it but then life starts seeming very short.
