And, by the way, in defense of Tcl, the new Rails release JUST got
Unicode support! Wahoo! Those guys are smokin'.

It just takes work and the hands to do it, and those seem to be in
pretty short supply. In part due to lack of time, and in part due to
lack of interest.
RoR is a lot of good practices all rolled into one. Tcl could
definitely do most of what it does, although it does fall down pretty
badly in terms of OO due to the lack of garbage collection. The thing
about RoR is that it has a ton of people working on it and with it, so
there is really no competition unless you can improve on it by an
order of magnitude (as RoR did in some ways with PHP and Java). Just
equalling what they've done isn't enough any more, because no one
cares about Tcl.
