I've been experimenting with making both scripting type functionality
and an embeddable scripting language (Tcl) available in Ada.  For
specifics, see http://www.adatcl.com.

Having done a lot of programming in Tcl/Tk, I find that most of my
bugs result from lack of typing.  But, that's what is supposed to make
scripting languages so easy to use!

What I'm trying to accomplish with TASH is to provide the benefits
of a scripting language (e.g. platform-independent graphical user
interfaces, performing regular expression pattern matching and
using associative arrays) in Ada.  You can then mix the features of
both Ada and Tcl to, hopefully, get a better program sooner.
