My review of the TCL 40 NXTPAPER at Gizmodo Australia features (amongst many other details), blue lights, human cloning, Kirby, a guy called Dave and moody jazz.
I really have considered every angle… and then some.
«Selon nos informations, le 28 mars prochain, le Sytral devrait confier la gestion du métro lyonnais à l'opérateur parisien, dans le cadre du nouveau marché. Keolis, l'actuel exploitant, continuera lui de gérer les bus. Les changements sont attendus pour début 2025.»
This is a little project I've been working on for a few weeks. I think the basic functionality is now working, though there are still many aspects I hope to improve. Of course much of usenet is now a wasteland inhabited only by spammers and cranks. But there are still worthwhile corners, such as comp.lang.tcl, so I think this may have some value. 🙂 #usenet#tcl#tcltk#programming
I'm old enough to have begun using #unix before #linux, and in the first years, I used *nix (well, SunOS, Solaris, and Digital OSF/1, to say more precisely) for so long. I'm what nowadays is considered a Veteran Unix Admin or #vua. I'm still curious enough to stay updated about current tech, but I wonder how many people out there in the #fediverse are still passionate about tech novelties but even cultivate legacy knowledge such as #C, #Perl, #Tcl, #autoconf and #automake, #m4 and above all why?
seemingly out of nowhere I've somehow found myself delving deeper into technologies that could be classified as "permacomputing"-friendly or adjacent. I've recently been doing a lot of reading and exploration on things like around redbean, lua, tcl/tk, c, portability, longevity, and "old" tech and can't help but get excited or overly curious about them.
The missing TCL/TK bindings for r2 are now available! Write GUI r2pipe scripts that run on mac/linux/windows without fighting too much with graphical toolkits or build dependencies. And of course! You can also reuse your Javascript or Python helpers from TCL #tcl#tk#radare2
RayNeo Air 2 Review! https://youtu.be/_CsV-Vbzgis
Smaller, lighter, faster, and less expensive! These could be the XR glasses to beat?
But is RayNeo making TOO many compromises to hit the lower price?
✅ Un gain de temps de parcours de 10 min (et + fiable) pour les bus 40 et 70
✅ Création de trottoirs accessibles avec revêtements clairs
✅ Végétalisation avec des arbres pluies 🌳 et sols perméables 💧
💡 Rappel
Le Corridor Bus, c'est des priorités aux feux, des couloirs bus, des aménagements et sécurisations de carrefours, des couloirs d'approche, etc.
One field of use for #tcl that I think people might find surprising is that it mixes well with #nix , at least to me.
Tcl in #nixos has few dependencies, so you can use it for miscellaneous scripts without feeling bad about it.
When doing Nix stuff you can easily get into a few layers of quoting, something Tcl's syntax handles better than the shell code people instinctively reach for.
Tcl excels at orchestrating and composing system commands, again a typical Nix concern.
Finally, even though the programming model could be said to be the inverse of functional programming, on a superficial level I think Nix code and Tcl have a shared aesthetic, they just look good together. 😃
#Tcl (also known as Tool Command Language; pronounced as either "tickle" or as an initialism) is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.
It was made in 1988 by John Ousterhout and it was inspired mainly by #C, #Lisp, #Shell, #Awk and has served as one of the inspirations of #PowerShell and #Python due to its simplicity and elegance.
Let’s see how many #tcl people are on Mastodon (and on that note, if somebody can recommend me Tcl books for more seasoned programmers (=those who have experience with a couple of programming languages)).
Writing a #Portfile for #MacPorts, I touched the basics of #Tcl. This programming language appeared to be elegant, with clear and catchy syntax.
It looks like a very nice choice for #scripting. Now I'm not surprised that Sqlite was born as Tcl extension initially. And surprised Tcl isn't widely used in #DevOps, for instance. I'm quite sure this #language is suitable for a number of tasks in today's #programming, so pls share if you have real life example(s).
