Where Tcl and Tk Went Wrong (via).
As I posted on Hacker News... Every time I'm reminded of Tcl's history through Sun I wonder how much would have had to have been different for Tcl to have ascended instead of Java.
Was it the decision of one man who just liked Java better? Was it for more technical reasons (like the lack of a standard OO system)... etc?
I don't know Tcl well, but I still feel like a different present in which Tcl had arisen to be one of the most popular languages may have been better than the actual Java-dominated present.
