One feature of itcl I liked was that constructors that failed wouldn't leave you with a half-initialized object. They left you with no object at all.

I spoke with its author, Mike McLellan, two USENIX Tcl/Tk Conferences ago: he said it's used by a fair number of private and government organizations. Even the Mars Pathfinder project used itcl to power the GUI for driving the robotic Sojourner explorer! --Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
