I can't comment on virtual-table shenanigans, but I'll enthusiastically confirm that thought. Not only is an in-memory database powerful and useful for all the obvious reasons, but (I would argue) the Tcl interface to…
(And that is of course what is actually alleged in the indictment.)
Alleged musician, surely.
I don't (personally) like to think of the type system as "everything is an auto-mutating and cached tagged union + string" - from the perspective of someone writing in Tcl, everything absolutely is a string. It's cool…
ALS!? :( Not to join the Darl McBride Fan Club ("modern-day David" indeed), but nobody deserves that.
I don't think clam looks "ridiculous", but I suppose we're in to subjective stuff now. :) In principle this isn't really any different from GTK or Qt theming (where it's up to users to go forth and find themes they…
The theming engine is absolutely "built-in", as are a handful of themes; in particular aqua and the winnative/xpnative/vistanative family (which integrate with the Mac/Windows windowing system such that the application…
A theming engine went in something like 15 years ago now; the default theme looks rather dated, but there are plenty of others. See https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/List+of+ttk+Themes (though the screenshots of core…
The Redis protocol reads a lot like Tcl code.
If there's any better relational database API, in any language, than SQLite's Tcl interface, I've not seen it yet. (And the reasons SQLite's Tcl interface is so good would either be hard to replicate without Tcl, hard…
From the (little) I've seen of that world, I'm not sure the EDA vendors understand Tcl very well either; I wouldn't want to work with scripts for Cadence's schematic capture tool, and that's not because of Tcl, it's…
Most of what I'd call the UI - all the toolbars and pseudo-floating-windows - is basic bread-and-butter Tk stuff. The 3D context and CAD kernel would be the tricky bits. There are extensions floating around to work with…
