The State of the Scripting Universe

r.jimenezz writes "Via PragDave's blog I learned of an article by Lynn Greiner on the state of scripting languages, a.k.a. scripting dynamic languages. A number of influential personalities (Guido von Rossum, Damien Conway, PragDave himself and others) were interviewed and it's interesting to see how much their opinions coincide despite being interviewed separately. A lengthy but worthwhile reading."

Another cool article about Tcl

This article:

talks about some of the cool stuff that Tcl does. My favorite thing about the language is that it hits a real sweet spot with its level of abstraction. Python has an event loop now, in Twisted, but Tcl's had the same thing for ages, and it's very easy to use.
