Tcl/Tk shares a similar problem with many "dynamic languages" in that they are hard to debug, since everything happens at runtime. The delayed execution levels in Tcl using "" [] and {} can be a mind bender.

Gumby, nice, lol.
I have now discovered that someone created Tcl/Tk interpreters for Csound too. There goes the next few months of my life.
I have to ask, though (reply off-list if it's too OT): when you say Tcl is wacky, just how wacky do you mean? I noticed that its handling of most programming capabilities is pretty off-beat, but I'm finding it very easy to learn and understand, as others have said. Would you say there are serious flaws or inefficiencies, or is it just idiosyncratic?

Tcl is whacky, but Tk is quite flexible and well developed for making GUIs. Check out tomorrow's auto-build if you want to make your mouse cursor turn into gumby :) It's in hcs/cursor- help.pd
