    It doesn't matter if the project driven by Microsoft or not, the cat (of automatically generated language bindings) is out of the bag. E.g. Zig is using the same approach without being an official MS project: https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32, and Apple has an automatically generated C++ API for Metal (https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/).

    In the future, the question won't be "what language do I need to learn to code on this platform", but instead "are there language bindings for my favourite language".

    Based upon info in an AUTHORS file [0] for a different project by the user cznic, I think there is indeed some kind of connection with nic.cz

    But I believe, based upon my membership on the GoNuts group / mailing list, that this is mostly the work of one individual, Jan Mercl (he is quite active in GoNuts) — as also stated in the previously mentioned AUTHORS file, and in the AUTHORS file for the port of Tcl that is the subject of the OP [1].

    I have used some of his non-transpiled code/projects in my own Go projects in the past. He seems to be a very solid coder, often happy to share his views in GoNuts, and also frequently reviews others' code too.

    I think the author of modernc.org/sqlite also ported the test suite. They wrote https://gitlab.com/cznic/tcl to run the TCL-based tests, for example.
