Yeah, Tcl user interface looks ugly. The language looks weird -
however the same can be said about Python (which I somehow like). So I
am doing devil's advocate here.
What is the current state of Tcl interface?
Does it have bugs?
Does it lack some functionality?
Or everything is fine and it just lacks a maintainer?
I also am curious what is wrong with it. I haven't had
much time to work on it recently but was actually using
the Tcl interface to build a custom system simulator and
it seemed to be working fine.
I believe the maintaining of a language binding is minor once SWIG
part is done (for any language).
Perhaps we can just mark it "incomplete" so that users can use it and
if they really desire they might contribute improved Tcl binding.
I think the costs and dangers are small compared to dropping peoples'
pet language. I might guess wrong.
