@coolbean Tcl, because I have written a large, complex networked program in it and it seems to work relatively well

@ellenor2000 funnily enough, despite never really thinking about tcl, we actually have a book about tcl/tk stuff somewhere im pretty sure

@ellenor2000 fair, just thought its a neat coincidence that the one programming book we have, and never actually read at least in part covers tcl

@coolbean like how a terminator looks like a dude but is more effective at doing stuff in strange ways nobody expects.

@shitpostalotl another similarity is if i installed 9front right now it would most likely attempt to kill me
