- Can you do Starkits!? With .NET and the CLR, pre-Core (since I see this goes back to 2012), that would be interesting?
- Can you run Fossil on this?
- How does type ellision work (or rather how do you handle moving between CLR/.NET primitives into a very different or minimalist Tcl type system)?
Thanks for the cool work. Sorry so many questions but that is what popped into my head!
Also, Eagle runs quite well on Mono, on both Mac OS X and Linux.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Can you run Fossil on this" since Fossil itself is written in C. However, Eagle can certainly be used with Fossil via its Tcl integration support. The Garuda package (part of Eagle) is used to load the CLR and Eagle from native Tcl.
Eagle "knows" about all the .NET primitive types, including generics, nullable value types, ByRef, multi-dimensional and nested arrays, and all delegate types. The "core marshaller" handles all translations between these types and strings. Everything is handled with full fidelity.

The type situation is cool. I know little of CLR and .NET, but will definitely check out this code. This sounds wonderful, good on you and your community! Perhaps I will play.
