In some alternate timeline, we're all using Tcl for browser scripting.

TypeTcl is actually not that different from TypeScript.

@lambdageek a thing I discovered recently is that modern FPGA programmers are in significant numbers writing in tcl, because Verilog doesn't otherwise have macros and tcl is easy to wrap to generate Verilog

FPGA IDE developers picked up on this and started adopting tcl for eg build scripts. So there's this whole modern tcl ecosystem, all happening in the only level of programming lower level than assembly

@mcc that's amazing. They really dodged a bullet by not all standardizing on m4 or some other horror

@lambdageek yeah on one level I'm shying away but on the other hand C preprocessor really is just about a worst case scenario
