FORTH and Lisp both handle this aspect nicely, too. Not as nicely as
Tcl, mind... :-)
As for what it lacks, some mechanism to automatically dispose of values
when references to them go away. When the last "file6" goes away, file 6
should get closed. When nobody needs the command $myobject, that command
should get cleaned up. Admittedly, very difficult to do, to the point
where I can't even imagine how to begin thinking about how to do it.
Perhaps some specialized allocation mechanism that you could
occasionally garbage-collect programatically.
