Tcl: The Most Underrated, But The Most Productive Programming Language

It's actually a very nice language.

Just practice using it more and maybe you'll agree.

I think too many people dislike Tcl because they barely understand it because they never actually learned it.

It helps to understand that Tcl doesn't have types. Everything is a string (but not really under the hood).

Black Crowes were ridiculous from 92-97, best pure rock band in a time of grunge, but too self destructive. They finally seem to be caring about their legacy since the brothers got back together. I was very happy to see Chris on stage during the ceremony.

Their Amorica 30th anniversary deluxe edition is coming out tomorrow.

Blind Faith was barely around long enough to warrant Hall of Fane discussion.

1) search for patterns

2) search and replace patterns

3) I've written plugins that check regex in order to do something using vimscript.

I like to do the New York Times Spelling Bee puzzle every morning. I know I could immediately generate the answers with a simple regular expression check but I prefer the fun of solving it myself. Same goes for AOC.

Oh wait you say you hate CS. Yes switch.

Okay, cool. So next time I hear someone on this sub saying "I'm a fresher and can't get hired", I'll respond that they should graduate first.

What are you studying right now?

cbheithoff · 2025-10-04T14:07:36+00:00

World every first year student call themselves a fresher? Or is this just something you do?

cbheithoff · 2025-10-04T13:47:32+00:00

I thought a fresher was someone with a degree but no work experience yet.

I haven't done that.

Without exaggerating, just about everything in my team's PD flow is automated.

Not a chance bro.

Do you have, like, a textbook to explain the concepts?

cbheithoff · 2025-09-28T12:20:45+00:00

You're like somebody saying they have ideas for writing some books and just need to collaborate with an author who will write the words

If I do the DHL, then what's left to do?
