John, I will thank you to not refer to tclsh as "wretched". The
Tool Control Language (TCL) is one of the most elegant and
power programming languages ever devised. TCL is not part
of the Algol family of languages (it is more closely related
to Lisp) which makes it difficult to grok for people who have
only been exposed to Algol-like langauges. But this does not
detract from the extreme elegance of the language.
I would agree with D.R.H. on the innate beauty of Tcl, and coupled with
the very nice (and getting better) GUI development tool Tk (specifically
the new Ttk (Tile) themed widget set). Tcl/Tk may not have the momentum
that Ruby/Python/Perl have, but it certainly does *NOT* lack form or
function, and given the ease with which it can be embedded, seems a
particularly good match for the SQLite project. Frankly, using tclsh is
IMHO an inspired choice.
