@heikkiket I would say Tcl/Tk but I'm biased of course 😎

I have never heard a story that begins with the words "Richard Stallman..." and ends in a good place.

In other news, TIL tcl got screwed.

smh...again.

@tcl_tk I like this proposal and would like to see it TIPed!

@farooqkz Here's the equivalent in Tcl9 - not very different:

foreach i [lseq 0 255] {
foreach size {nanod minid microd halfd thirdd majord} {
foreach r {1 2 4 8 16} {
puts "$i [clock format now -format %T]"
w_run p4_${size}_$r $i
}
}
}

@h4ckernews Amazing progress! Pretty soon thread support in Python will have caught up to what Tcl had 25 years ago! 😎

@Setok It's worth pointing out there is a good reason for this change. With the old behaviour you could get very weird breakage if you happened to run otherwise-correct code on a file or directory whose name started with '~' .

🚀🎉 "Tkintergalactic": because nothing screams "modern" like a React-style interface... in Tcl/Tk. 🕰️ Get ready to dive into the time warp where developers trade sanity for #nostalgia, and GitHub tries to convince us that Tcl/Tk is the #future of #UI. 🌀

@abcdw It's not too hard in Tcl:

proc run_for_n_seconds {n f} {
set time_limit [clock seconds]
incr time_limit $n
set worker [interp create]
$worker limit time -seconds $time_limit
try {
$worker eval $f
} on error {} {
return "no value"
}
}

Actually this limits execution of f to n seconds *elapsed time* not CPU time, I think it could be extended to check cpu time, but that would be more work.
See docs at https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl9.0/TclCmd/interp.html .

The first Tcl9 book arrived today. Many thanks to Ashok Nadkarni for the work!

@mcc dicts are a relatively recent addition, arrays were in Tcl from early on. A dict is a single value, which can be assigned to a variable, passed around etc.. An array is more like a collection of variables.
I tried to capture what's distinctive about Tcl in a blog post a while back - https://colin-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/why-im-tcl-ish.html
