that might not be relevant to ron's point. i think this is almost a geometry problem. if you plot languages in 1997 and late 2011 on the "goodness line", it should follow that improving isn't enough to have a sufficiently large "goodness factor". the language in question has to be improving fast enough relative to the competition to be in the top bunch (largest x). if you only plot languages similar to tcl on this line, i think you get the same result. in tcl's case, the segment between starting point and today would seem to need to be prohibitively long. (although python made the minimum segment length much shorter by making python 3 incompatable with 2.) - erik
