Sure, tcl isn't as popular as Go right now. Still, tcl is appealing in some ways. http://www.tcl.tk/doc/scripting.html Was wondering if Go could be summarized as Plan 9 in language-space. (Ready... aim... fire) It seems like Plan 9 already "got it right" in the systems realm. (Arguments against Ousterhout's dichotomy, fire away) Seems like Plan 9 and tcl/tk would complement each other well. Also, this is somewhat unrelated, but I was wondering whether each Go executable contains the garbage collector. (It must, it seems, but just checking). - Leonard
