second way the Tcl community irks me is the "not invented here"
attitude. I like the syntax of Tcl and I like the community. They are
some good folks. Try asking "I want to build a Nagios clone in Tcl" type
question and invariably you get "Why? There is already Nagios?".
You're the one who wants to re-write Nagios in Tcl, the Tcl community are
perfectly happy using the existing Nagios instead of re-inventing the
wheel, and you accuse *them* of suffering from NIH syndrome.
Well, I don't know about Tcl but Nagios was re-written in Python:

It was forked to be written in Python, yes. The whole point (and it
wasn't a Nagios port to Tcl) was that the Tcl community (and I like the
Tcl community a lot) has a strange fixation with not reinventing the
wheel, even when the wheel would be in Tcl and it might give Tcl more
exposure. It is what it is though.
