Implement Tcl in Tcl (2007)

There were a number of really mind-blowing programmers that hung out in the Tcl ecosystem back around this time.

antirez, Richard Succhenwirth, Jean Claude Whippler, more.

So much of my early programming education was just wandering around the Tcler's wiki and messing around with the amazing random toy projects they came up with.

And then dipping down into the C code for Tcl was always really cool - the Tcl C style has always really impressed me. And it seems like that style was carried on in related projects like SQLite.

In case it's not clear without clicking on the username - SS (Salvatore Sanfilippo) is 'antirez' the later author of Redis.

Forget some rusty door on a wall in a British town.

This is an entrance to hell.

TCL is TCL regardless your stake on it. It is language that teaches you the basics, advances you in to a world of voodoo which not only allows you to construct industrial strength applications but applications that stand strong day to day.

Everything is a string is fine operative and one that many nowadays languages convolute.

Incorporated in many other languages and with TCL9 in development, which while it may not have the fancy dependences of Python or Gems of Ruby; there is a solid foundation feeling to building an application in TCL.

This is what I feel with FreeBSD, in that an error is an error which one where that the application written in whole won't flake out on you later on for some unknown reason.
