programmer want to know the unknown).
1. Why you should not use Tcl - RMS

2. Why Tcl doesn't scale - Daniel W. Connolly

It is also fair to mention that these URLs are nearly 10 years old.
[1] dates back to 1994 and [2] dates back to 1996.
Tcl and also other programming languages have evolved tremendously. All
you need to do is compare perl4 (94-96 circa) with perl 5.8 of today to
see the glaring differences in technology and implementation. Therefore
much of what is said in these URLs is nolonger valid.
All in good sport, here are some reasons why you may want to use tcl
today -

Interesting urls though. Thanks for posting.
