A majority of the SQLite source code and also the Fossil SCM source code (those parts written by me, which is the majority in both cases) was composed in a cross-platform text editor that is written in Tcl/Tk, based on the text widget. The same TclTk source file runs on linux, mac, and windows. I've used that same editor for two decades, now and then updating it for this or that new feature that I find useful. SQLite began life as a Tcl extension that only later escaped into the wild. That's why most of the test cases for SQLite are written in Tcl, why "tclsh" is required to build from canonical sources, why the Tcl language bindings are built in, why SQLite accept parameters that look like Tcl language variables, and why SQLite uses flexible typing and does not require explicit data types on columns. There is a new book out on Tcl by Ashok Nadkarni. See http://wiki.tcl.tk/48868 for details. I have not read it myself, but people I trust tell me that it is good. -- D.
