* Tcl: Lisp for the masses: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28957701

Yes. I've been kind of wondering about the apparent promotion of Tcl here recently - is someone pushing it for some reason, or is it just a passing fad in a slow (tech) news time?

I think topics tend to cluster as people follow up on interesting posts; at least, that would explain two active discussions in two days.

Years back, for a lot of us, tcl and tk was the bees knees. It was what we use Qt for now, but much easier in some regards. I think sometimes that as we reach peak saturation in other languages people branch back out into areas we enjoyed in the past

2 decades later, I do not remember what I did with TCL, but I remember that I enjoyed it... This may explain things...
