What scripting languages actually do have proper specs that aren't ignored (therefore no Ruby)?

@lispi314 is tcl an option?

@zardoz03 I guess? Does it have a spec?

Other than knowing it drives Tk I know next to nothing about it.

@lispi314 does this count? https://www.magicsplat.com/ttpl/index.html, not an ISO/ANSI standard but

@zardoz03 Well, even just an open spec/standard works.

I don't have much respect for ISO & ANSI as a result of their paygating standards. It defeats most of the point of having them in the first place. Especially safety standards for various things (battery safety & medical safety have both been very relevant in the last few years and basically everything is paygated to absurd levels).

Unfortunately this looks more like documenting the implementation. It could work in a pinch, but it's not explicitly an implementation target either which suggests future instability if one relies specifically on that.
