Ah yes, because the world was desperately yearning for yet another obscure text editor clone, this time written in everyone's favorite "what is this even?" language, #TclTk. 🖥️🤔 Clearly, the future of editing lies in turning our keyboards into irrelevant relics while we bask in the glory of mouse-induced carpal tunnel. 🖱️😂

@jacket Tcl is something of an acquired taste. Perhaps you need to have a twisted brain to really appreciate it (as I do)! 🤪

That's quite a good introductory video though. My one criticism would be that it may give the impression that all commands operate directly on strings, which would be very inefficient. This was the case in the very earliest versions of Tcl, but now strings are converted to/from more efficient representations behind the scenes as required. #tcltk 🪶

@patricus Depending on your definition of "sane", you might find Tcl/Tk fits the bill. See https://www.tcl-lang.org and https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/welcome . Indentation is optional, you can write:

if {$a > 0} {puts OK} else {puts "TOO LOW"; set a 1}

or:

if {$a > 0} {
puts OK
} else {
puts "TOO LOW"
set a 1
}

or:

if {$a > 0} \
{puts OK} \
else \
{puts "TOO LOW"
set a 1}

or even:

eval [lreverse {{puts "TOO LOW"; set a 1} else {puts OK} {$a > 0} if}]

A pauta sobre easter eggs da #SegundaFicha cobre apenas jogos? Como um usuário #Linux da velha guarda, gostaria de resgatar o easter egg das antigas versões do Red Hat (incluindo o #Conectiva Red Hat Linux), que exibiam um chapéu giratório se uma determinada região do `timetool` (aplicativo para ajuste de data e hora) era clicada. Não achei captura de tela, então, precisei eu mesmo fazer uma (emulador PCem, distribuição Conectiva Red Hat Linux Marumbi).

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.

@jaywilson1988 @ebassi Do you have a source for this you can point to? I'm a big Tcl/Tk fan, but am resigned to it remaining a minority interest.
#tcltk #gtk

I've heard recently that there are plans to deprecate #gnome #gtk in favour of #tcltk. My source said that by 2027, most projects will have migrated from GTK to Tcl/Tk. Are you prepared for the switch over? @ebassi

@jaywilson1988 @felipeborges @GTK Well the graphics here will be done with Tk which was developed for use with Tcl, though other languages have bindings to it as well now. You can see some other examples here: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Showcase .
#tcltk

@jaywilson1988 @felipeborges @GTK A Gtk-Tcl binding has been done before, see https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/gnocl . BEWARE - it appears the www.gnocl.org site has been compromised - it redirects to something very dodgy. The source code has not been updated for a few years but the blog at https://gnocl.blogspot.com/ has recent posts, so I guess the project is not dead.

As a longtime Tcl fan I am curious about where you see these signs of a resurgence in its popularity?
#tcltk #gnome

@felipeborges
Hey, I was wondering, what do you and your colleages in the #gnome development team think about Tcl/Tk?
#tcltk
I heard some people discussing lately about bringing back the Tcl language, it's becoming popular again. Perhaps it would be a good idea make Tcl bindings for GTK?

I think it would be worth considering, or else gnome might be left out when Tcl returns to the throne as the most popular scripting language.
