Yes i'll agree to that if you also agree that Python and Perl are the same. Then i "maybe" your "suggestion" holds water, maybe. But you forgot to comment on the other big point which is... What language would you rather spend your time learning if you only had C and Tcl to choose from? If you answer Tcl you are either foolish or just trying to win the argument by playing devils advocate, and in that case you're even more foolish! The moral is that C and Python are far more useful to any programmer than Tcl will ever be -- whether you consider them together or apart does not matter. Tcl is too limited whereas Python and especially C are far more useful in various situations. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
