Woo-hoo!  I hate TCL but love Perl/Tk and am using it for a simple Gooey 
front-end for some scripts that I have.  I mean, about a page to write a 
simple "Hello, world" in X11?  That BTW is my benchmark for any language; 
not only does it demonstrate its complexity but also its fundamental 
structure, and I'm very much a learn-by-example person (it's something 
weird in my brain that I can pick up a new language just by seeing a few 
examples of it).

Number of programming languages I've used over 50 years:

     aneurin% wc -l ~/languages
 	  48 /home/dave/languages

And that's counting all assembly languages as one, etc; 360, PDP-8, 
PDP-11, Z-80, VAX, 2650, Intel...  Currently looking at ARM for something 
or other.  I collect programming languages like some people collect 
stamps.

I was also pretty good at French in school :-)
