From: Michael Smith <msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au> Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 10:35:12 +0930 (CST) Joel N. Weber II stands accused of saying: > we want to use. (I may well rewrite parts of the user interface > in Guile and use Tk; I don't know yet.) Tk already comes with a perfectly good scripting language; Tcl. Don't let another of RMS' irrational bigotisms put you off. It's perfectly rational. At least, I know I like C, and I know I don't like perl. But I'm inclined to agree with RMS's critcisms of TCL. There's some Linux distribution that I don't use (yet) on my own machines that requires perl for basic functionality. I hate that. [this is someone else rambling] Actually, both parts were written by someone @gnu.ai.mit.edu whose name is Joel.
