No that was >not< the general consensus, you are at best confusing several issues, or more likely, grinding your private axe in public. Just because you didn't use Tcl the right way when you tried, doesn't mean that it's a bad thing in general. By including it in FreeBSD, you will get access to code that will maybe be able to show you why various heavy-weights call it "the most significant event in the history of software tools". >I don't know of any developer besides Jordan and you who want this, and >Jordan appears to have washed his hands of this, so it's your wishes >against the wishes of everyone else. Maybe you don't read all your email, but I read all mine. >I was going to wipe out the TCL stuff this weekend if you didn't get to it. Don't. The closest we got to a common concensus of any kind is that "things shall be bmaked", a document about this policy is being reviewed right now bu Peter who was the only one that really showed any informed interest in the subject (as opposed to people going balistic or beating their chest) and tcl will be converted to that model, probably during the weekend.
