TCL is somewhere close to horrible, in my opinion. It works, but there have to be better ways. I have used it in the past to build control GUIs, but I insisted on using c to do the "back end" work, as I just had NO IDEA what tcl was actually doing at the hardware level.
I now use Glade for building GUIs and attach that to c programs to do the dirty work. Vastly more understandable and maintainable. But, I'm not sure glade has any relevance to this hal project.
