I'm still saddened by the fate of TCL/TK. I still blame Sun for what<br>
happened to it. sun bought TCL/TK and its inventor John Ousterhout<br>
with intentions of turning TCL into a browser scripting language, and<br>
then "burried" TCL when Sun decided to go with Java instead (though<br>
interestingly, Java NEVER become a language of the web). I'm sad,<br>
because I was really a big fan of TCL and TK. I still am.<br>
