Yes, I like tcl. The new mod-dtcl is very powerful now that the cgi-tcl stuff has been incorporated. A combination of mod-dtcl and tcl-sql is VERY powerful. You embed tcl directly into your web pages (.ttml extention) and can then do some really neat 3-tier database stuff. No more CGI's needed for small jobs. Velocigen is pretty cool too. =====
