I used to think Tcl was some kind of old losers' scripting language. Every time I saw Tcl used I thought "ugh, you're doing that?". Out of curiosity, I took a look at some Tcl files. They looked like shell scripting to me, and I thought "piece of shit". But I saw a couple of weird hacks, and Wikipediaed it.
Then I realized Tcl is a weird Lisp. Then I googled, and came up with this interesting article: http://antirez.com/articoli/tclmisunderstood.html
So Tcl seems to be an even easier to use Lisp with scoping issues and lack of standard object systems and such. And then there's this:
http://jim.berlios.de/
which solves these issues and can be reduced to 10 KB in a single C file for use in your software.
Now I'm interested on Tcl. Comments, please, I want to know your experiences with this language.
