But if you look at it from the point of view of say, having to count from 1-10 the syntax is horrible.

The real killer for TCL initially was having to build extensions into the binary. If a lib needed BLT you had to rebuild TCL with BLT, then another library need a conflicting add-in you ended up with multiple TCL installs and a dll-hell of trying to get the right libs to play nicely. Don't know if thats fixed.



It has been fixed for over 10 years.

It is Tcl, by the way, not TCL.
