Why Tcl?

• lua-string

  3 20 0.0 Lua

  Lua standard string library extension

lua has decent string lib in the stdlib, you can also use 3rd party libraries such as https://github.com/stein197/lua-string, I'm not familiar with tcl, can you elaborate why tcl is much better than lua in string manipulations?

• Oxidized

  49 2,611 9.1 Ruby

  Oxidized is a network device configuration backup tool. It's a RANCID replacement!

after using expect and TCL heavily for years, I can firmly say they suck at scale.

• textfsm

  5 1,080 2.9 Python

  Python module for parsing semi-structured text into python tables.

  

TextFSM https://github.com/google/textfsm

are much better options if you need to do a /lot/ of parsing

• critical

  A simple/minimal TCL interpreter, written in golang (by skx)

Well Redis started off being written in TCL.

And of course Antirez has a soft-spot for TCL:

Which inspired me to create a (trivial) TCL interpreter in golang. Not perfect, but almost as good as picol:
