I always like to learn from how other people solved a problem, even if I already solved it myself (sometimes especially if I already solved it myself, probably poorly...).

At a previous job we had licensed some software that was written in TCL.. and even had an API for the system. I can't recall the name of the software at the moment, but it was very specialized so not cheap. This was during the late 90s/early 2000s. I have no idea if the company is still around of if they still sell the software or if it's still tcl-based (my memory fails me). -a

At my workplace we use a commercial Tcl-based mail and web server for sending out millions of emails to our customers. Scripting the messages with Tcl to generate dynamic mail contents based on their location, purchasing history, doing A/B tests, etc.

Not me, but Tcl is one of the best-represented langauges on the site I run. I use it for small stuff (with expect) regarding keeping my cheap consumer-grade routers/switches running. Those things usually have either a telnet or ssh interface that allows me to monitor/configure/reboot, but they are usually too ficle to be programmed in any predictable way. Muddle through a problem manually, and record the solution in an expect script to keep until next time. Over the years I have accumulated several that are stable enough to run unattended. Last couple of times that my most troublesome wifi-box got alzheimers, it got rebooted automatically. Dynamic DNS (10+ hostnames) and ADSL rebooting happens within 5 minutes of my ISP deciding to do something weird. expectk brings a semblance of sanity. No serious programming though. Did use exmh as my main mailclient until ~9 years ago. It is still being developed, look into that if you want an example of Tcl in a largeish project.

Just wondering if anyone here ever use Tcl for scripting (i.e., automating repetitive procedures) or even *gasp* serious programming. Rgds,
