Wish I had this page when messing around with Eggdrop[1] back in the late 90s.

As a self-taught novice programmer that started with QBasic and had moved on to Turbo Pascal, I found Tcl to be very confusing and it left a rather negative impression.

Reading this page now though, it seems a lot more logical and reasonable than it appeared at the time.

Don't blame you. If you treat tcl as a c-like scripting language, it's a mess. If you treat it as a "shell & lisp" combo, then you get to see it's power & flexibility.
