I'm thinking of going full code-hipster and learning Tcl

[alexwestin]

Has anyone created anything interesting in Tcl lately?

[palmtcl]

I would have to guess at what interests you :-) but some recent links I found interesting -

- VecTcl numerical package at http://auriocus.github.io/VecTcl/vectclab.html

- Tcl on Android at http://www.androwish.org/index.html/home

- Test automation at http://caiusproject.com/

And most interesting to me, naturally, as the author :-) http://wits.magicsplat.com/screenshot.html

Tcl/Tk is an often overlooked tool to quickly test UI ideas.

Check out `http://wiki.tcl.tk/' (which has lot's of good information).

Also learn some Tcl by reading the redis test suite here,

`https://github.com/antirez/redis/tree/unstable/tests'.

Thanks. I was wondering about the Tk implantation in terms of plotting and charts.

I'm working on static site generator written in Tcl that is nearing its 1.0 release. It aims to be featureful but self-contained and have reasonable defaults to allow you to quickly start working on a new website. You can find it at https://github.com/tclssg/tclssg.

I've also written an Awk-like tool in Tcl that speaks SQL and has table joins - https://github.com/dbohdan/sqawk.

I just created a tool to walk a wsdl definition to create a single contained xsd file for distribution to users of the wsdl. With Tcl the tool was done in a couple of hours.

Edit: Also http://caiusproject.com/ looks very interesting.

Recently I looked for a "TCLscript" targeting Javascript but I didn't find anything (under development at least).

The only strong players that I recognise in this market are Coffeescript, Typescript and Clojurescript. Probably there would be a market for "TCLscript" also.

We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in coding for Naviserver and have HTML/CSS/JS skills. We're working to launch www.rubylux.com now.

No, but Merry Christmas. :)

Hal Abelson seems like an interesting guy (first link)

[_pius]

He is. I was fortunate enough to have him as an advisor in college.

Digging

[duncan_bayne]

Wow, there's a blast from the past. A friend of mine (Jesse Liley) built a cool device-mounting-thingy called MUT in Tcl a few years ago, for the Puppy Linux distro.

I've done a good deal with Perl's Tkx library, which basically forces you to understand Tcl, but I haven't used it beyond that.

[zerohp]

Digital designers still use it. I'd bet that most of the silicon in your computer was designed with a lot of TCL involved.

[biomimic]

I've code algorithms for spellcheckers and text summarizers in Tcl. I've been using it for proof-of-concept data science/AI/machine learning stuff for years.
