There is brand new #freeSoftware written in #TclTk (!): #Tacky, a #Jabber/#XMPP client for #Linux and Windows with support for modern A/V calls and #OMEMO #e2ee. Pre-alpha now.

It's a #blastFromThePast, as I used to play a lot with Tcl/Tk in the mid-1990s. Can't remember much of it, though.
Ich habe heute Nacht geträumt, meine Kollegen hätten ein Problem mit einem meiner Tcl/Tk-Scripte. 😳
Ich frage mich, was mich zu diesem Zeitsprung bewegt hat.

@jacket Tcl is something of an acquired taste. Perhaps you need to have a twisted brain to really appreciate it (as I do)! 🤪
That's quite a good introductory video though. My one criticism would be that it may give the impression that all commands operate directly on strings, which would be very inefficient. This was the case in the very earliest versions of Tcl, but now strings are converted to/from more efficient representations behind the scenes as required. #tcltk 🪶
