Nice that you are still here on this list. ;-)
Much as I dislike TCL, I like the way Scotty itself works. The whole idea is
sound but I don't think TCL hacks it for writing largish scripts (and I don't
want to go back to C - ugh!). But I don't see anything else which is on a par
with Scotty.
I just won't use TCL for any more large projects. Actually, I knew that
before but had no idea my current project (storing polled MIB variables in a
MySQL database) would be so large. I anticipated maybe 2 or 3 weeks but its
been nearly 3 months now and nowhere near what I was hoping to do with it.
I'm not blaming it all on TCL, I'm way out of practice of writing anything
longer than a page of code and my current reading material is a very good book
called "The promise of Sleep (Dement)" which will hopefully improve my
productivity :) So this is just a personal thing, I know some people like
TCL.
I'm quite keen to get to grips with guile for myself so I'll probably be
looking for a way to cross call TCL from guile (no problem I've got 256 Mb of
memory, I can run both interpreters!).
I suppose the point of this message is to wonder if anyone else has thought
about using Scotty from something other than TCL.
