I also have a fair Eventually, I'd seen and at least dabbled with things like Tcl/Tk, Perl (although I learned that at CERN), Python, and Java (which obviously wasn't Free Software at the time). Credit: freebird4, License: by-nc There has been a lot of news in the Tcl/Tk community the last month or so, and I thought it's time to compile them here since Coccinella is written in Tcl. Tcl's windowing toolkit, Tk, has been "known" to be ugly and Imagine that you can switch theme, and toolkits, on the fly without any program restart. Even in the mainstream, "scripting languages" are probably more popular.

These features are extended by a large .. "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming : Writing Better Programs in Tcl and Tk (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series) ; by Mark Harrison, Michael J. The Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit together create a programming environment for creating graphical user interfaces. Still I like to mention the book "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming" by Harison / McLennan,. Paul Boddie: I'm writing applications that access and combine databases in the bioinformatics domain, although I also have an ongoing project dealing with the text-mining of biological and medical literature to extract gene and protein-related information. Mismatches between the operations available in the formal code (which supports a limited set of allowed meanings) and the informal users (which can generate unlimited interpretations of the program) are a major source of user errors. Fixing those warts would have broken but a small percentage of the extant Tcl code we could see, but meanwhile, Tcl/Tk was already deployed in mission/life-critical uses like running control panel GUIs on oil rigs and Ousterhout wasn't about to fix the warts. Qt being dual licensed into one commercial license effectively stops any hobby programmer going seriously into the business world. I expect most LtU readers write compilers in functional languages, and certainly never C. This review is from: Effective Tcl/Tk Programming: Writing Better Programs with Tcl and Tk. My current research interests are mainly in Applied Statistics, but I also work as system manager, net manager, web developer and programmer (C, C++, FORTRAN, Php, Tcl/Tk).
