My second question is, how do we improve this?
- Can anyone suggest an implementation that is more readable
(aesthetically
appealing)?
- How may we get around the resource leak problem?
- How could we improve dict access?
- Should we improve Tcl's grammar (possibly in Tcl9) to handle the
declaration
of large lists & dicts more gracefully, as in JavaScript, Python,
Ruby, etc. ?
I think jumping off a cliff might help, try it and let us know.
Seriously? Nobody uses Tcl in a browser, Tcl isn't well suited for
dealing with document object models in a client browser. And, like I
said in my first response: the browser DOM is not consistent across
browsers, so any language which relies on their host browser's DOM is
limited, as in not portable. I've never seen interesting javascript
code which looks better than C code with a bunch of #IFDEF goop. Also,
javascript code tends to go out of date: it is served by a server as
text, but interpreted by many clients which constantly "upgrade" their
interpretation of the code. The other problem is that if you upgrade
your code, some clients will not understand the new code. This
situation is great for developers who want to get paid many times just
to keep up with the client/server rat race, otherwise there is no
benefit.
