Who here Programs with TCL Still?

[ComputerTech]

We all know TCL is kind of a 90s type of thing but how many Actually still TCL on this very forum?

 

I for One, TCL has been my first programming language to learn (starting January 2020) and now learning Python and C.

import time
 

while True:

          time.sleep(3)

Super tiny Python program that does nothing.

import time imports time. I'm not exactly sure what this does, but it lets you use the time.sleep command.

while True: is an infinite loop command.

time.sleep is a sleep command. You put the time in seconds in parentheses after time.sleep, so if I wanted to make it wait for 5 seconds, I would put time.sleep(5).

Three super useful commands.

you got it wrong chief

i know what program does im a python programmer myself

i asked whats the point of this program as you mentioned it does nothing!

The point is nothing.

I couldn't remember the Python Raspberry Pi commands for GPIO import

rpi better programed in c yes i did rpi programming for external iot and sensor stuff and because i used program arduino i find it easier in c

lol, actually TCL has been helping me learn Python, the Procs/variables/Binds all those little things are "Similiar" to Python in a way

 

PS, what a Busy Forum

I got my Pi in 4th grade and used Carrie Anne Philbin's book.
I haven't used it in awhile because most of my wires are broken

This is rare(ish). Sometimes it seems everyone goes to sleep.

Hmm, better fix that

Poor Pi.

What model did you have?
I have a 2 B+.

What is TLC? When i google TLC programming all i get is lists of television programs broadcasted by TLC

 

EDIT: Never mind I'm just stupid..

I used TCL in the past but it's too slow development time for me to worth use it anymore. I can shove the same project to one of my web devs and he can do the same in nearly half the time and he will have also have nice looking interface without extra work involved.

 

For fun at home i see the nostalgic part like i sometime like to take out my old basica / quick basic machine and code stuff but for actual professional work i get paid for it's a waste of time and money. So unless i have to update such system professionally i'll charge a premium.

Tcl (not TCL) is still an adequate scripting language which is used in quite some environments. Admittedly, I stopped using it in the 90s - it is not better than other scripting languages. But it would be wrong to assume that it's "sooo 90s" - even SQLite provides Tcl support.
