    Adding to !tcltk ... not sure how many members remain.

    @lxo I don't see the context, but my little experience with #Tk is great. I heard it helped inspire #Gtk long ago.

    !TclTk, !DLang, #Pharo !Smalltalk, and #Lazarus / #FreePascal are my favorites.

    Two #Windows / #DotNet !tcltk implementations: #IronTcl https://www.irontcl.com/ and the #Eagle project https://eagle.to/

    I hadn't heard of either until a day or two ago.

    @clacke tcl-lang.org is the new domain for most !tcltk sites because the .tk TLD is widely blocked. Which stinks, because tcl.tk was a good fit.

    @geniusmusing Mostly the same stuff:
    * LAMP / LEMP / similar β€” Linux, Apache webserver (though I would also look at Nginx, Lighttpd, H20, Comanche, Cheyenne web servers), MySQL (though I’d also look at PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird), PHP (though I’d also look at Perl, Raku, Python, !TclTk, Ruby [and Ruby on Rails], JVM langs [Java, Scala, Groovy + Grails], JavaScript [and Node.js, Deno, Jsish])
    * Cloud stuff (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, IBM Cloud, CenturyLink Cloud)
    * C, C++, !DLang, Nim
    * Some of the NoSQL database technologies, such as Cassandra, Riak, MongoDB
    * MapReduce technologies, such as Hadoop

    Note that a mention on the list above does not mean I will actively focus on learning that particular technology, just that it is one that has a potential of being a focal point.

    One good thing about starting out so broad and zooming in a bit is that I have a few courses I’ve already paid for that are already in the zone. I can utilize some of them to steer me into the direction that works best for me.

    If you’re a #Rustacean / #Rustacrucian, #Deno may be interesting simply because it is written in #Rust ... by the same person who started #Node.js.

    See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3BM9TB-8yA

    If you’re interested in !TclTk, then you may find #jsish interesting, because its internals are designed based on some of Tcl’s internals, and because it integrates the #Fossil #DVCS and can be updated using standard Fossil commands.

    Still expecting a talk about using !tcltk with #Jupyter notebooks, but it hasn't shown yet and we might have reached the end of the conference.

    Some of these talks are using #Tcl and #SQLite to drive a Web-based application. The current talk is using !TclTk with #Python's #NumPy.

    Opened the Rutabaga mini-laptop for ST2020 SQLite & !TclTk conf, but it is too limited to even display video. I've got audio, though.

    Good morning and #TZAG. I’m almost finished with today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Plans today include job searching, working on my toy project (part of learning #Lua; I’m also going to do another version of it to revive my !TclTk knowledge and possibly a 3rd version in another language), and removing some of the weeds growing in the yard.

    I also need to visit the stores to see whether TP supplies have come in.

    I should jump over to the #Win10 machine and try to answer some challenge questions in #VBScript or #KiXtart, then circle back around with #PowerShell. Maybe I should use !tcltk before I tackle PS, since I will have to look up everything I do.

    It looks like #Tcl 8.6.9.1 will be coming soon, at least on #MacOS. Some patches may have been omitted from the 8.6.9 release. !TclTk

    @arturovm Funny thing is that I was recently looking at #Lua, !TclTk, #Squirrel, but not since I started this search (and, again, I do not have any current need for it).

    Also thinking of replacing the #Mageia install with #OpenSuse. Mostly because I want to use #OpenVPN and I want a !TclTk installation that doesn't segfault every time I try to use it.

    The kind of bash script I'm writing at the moment, I wish that Tcl would still be considered an acceptable language to write things in.

    For what I'm doing, bash still beats Python in readability and usability. But Tcl would be a better suited language than both.

    Tried out subbing to the "BSD Now" podcast. Interesting, but the two episodes I've listened to are about four times too long and filled with babbling. Within 5-10 minutes, I've tuned out. #BSDNow

    I think I'm going to unsubscribe, which will leave me with two:
    * Hacker Public Radio -- I've resubbed for the past couple of weeks and I have not burned out yet. Maybe I'm just a fan of @klaatu ;-) #HPR
    * Smalltalk Reflections -- This one is on another unannounced hiatus. I should probably take a look around and see whether there are any other !Smalltalk podcasts in currently active production.

    I haven't really looked for them yet, but I'd be interested in trying out podcasts that focus mostly on !TclTk or !DLang.
