Hey Don,

I wanted to thank you and all of the developers who continue to work
on Tcl. As a new Tcl user, it surprised me to see how many
programmers feel that Tcl is past the end of its life. News like this
really makes me feel better about continuing to invest effort in
learning Tcl(which is by far the most fun language I've ever
programmed in). Keep up the awesome work!

Sincerely,

Joshua Litt


Well said. Other new languages, technology fads and companies come and go but good ol'Tcl/Tk is still there, moving forward, not following the latest trends but only those ideas that really pass the ROI and productivity muster.
