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. -- Terry J.
