QOTW: "That's part of 'marketing'. Tcl for one
reason or the other, seems
to have done a really good job of getting into companies,
but it seems to be
a 'black hole' in that nothing gets out again." -
David Welton
"Also it is self-reinforcing: When there is no
'buzz' surrounding a
language, companies don't flaunt it as a
'buzz-word'." - Donald Arsenau,
also on c.l.t
POTW:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his report:
It is the holiday season in the northern hemisphere and
that may or may not influence Wiki activity - oh, just
see for yourself.
Discussions
- The fabled "Tcl 9" may or may not be
different when
it comes to interactive features - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16214
>
- Need to build a help system? There are plenty of options
as witnessed by <http://wiki.tcl.tk/3196&g

- Implementing the famous map function, that showpiece of
functional programming, is dead-easy with Tcl 8.5's
apply
command - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/12848

Demonstrations
- All you need is Tcl/Tk if you want to do some logic
programming:
See <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16234
> for editing logical notations
and <http://wiki.tcl.tk/16238. if you are more concerned with
databases and unification.
- You may not release it, but it is very easy with Tcl to
update a _running_ program. <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1027&g

- Now that these little hand-held computers are so
ubiquitous,
you could just wait for this kind of application to
