Bleedin' bleeding edge

[outlier_lynn]

I simple adore tcl as a scripting language. It is realively small, concise and simple to write/read/debug. It is well suited to writing cgi scripts. It should become very poplular scripting language for the web.

It probably isn't going to be though. PHP (useful in it's own right) and Perl (bulky and difficult to maintain) won't give way because people are use to them.

That means there aren't eighty hundred web sites with ready to go tcl scripts like there are for perl. Eveything has to be written from scratch or translated from a more difficult language.

Phooey.

Was a while since I tried working with Perl, so I don't remember all the stuff the book said about CGI in general, but... If tcl is simpler to understand than Perl, and doesn't need to be compiled/there's a small compilation program for download, I know I'd gladly give it a shot, provided I could get good instructions.
