Re: Syntax, expressiveness and the beauty of Tcl

Now you can write:

: x = 10+10
or even
set result [: r=2+2]

I though assignment is optional, so:
set result [: 2+2]
would be a more interesting example. However, expressions specified
this way will be early evaluated by the Tcl parser. The speed advantage
of braced expressions (if they contain substitutions) gets lost. One
would better write
: x = {$y+$z}

.
