Which stinks, because tcl.tk was a good fit. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

* LAMP / LEMP / similar β Linux, Apache webserver (though I would also look at Nginx, Lighttpd, H20, Comanche, Cheyenne web servers), MySQL (though Iβd also look at PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird), PHP (though Iβd also look at Perl, Raku, Python, !TclTk, Ruby [and Ruby on Rails], JVM langs [Java, Scala, Groovy + Grails], JavaScript [and Node.js, Deno, Jsish])
* Cloud stuff (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, IBM Cloud, CenturyLink Cloud)
* C, C++, !DLang, Nim
* Some of the NoSQL database technologies, such as Cassandra, Riak, MongoDB
* MapReduce technologies, such as Hadoop
Note that a mention on the list above does not mean I will actively focus on learning that particular technology, just that it is one that has a potential of being a focal point.
One good thing about starting out so broad and zooming in a bit is that I have a few courses Iβve already paid for that are already in the zone. I can utilize some of them to steer me into the direction that works best for me.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3BM9TB-8yA
If youβre interested in !TclTk, then you may find #jsish interesting, because its internals are designed based on some of Tclβs internals, and because it integrates the #Fossil #DVCS and can be updated using standard Fossil commands.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

Iβm almost finished with todayβs #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Plans today include job searching, working on my toy project (part of learning #Lua; Iβm also going to do another version of it to revive my !TclTk knowledge and possibly a 3rd version in another language), and removing some of the weeds growing in the yard.
I also need to visit the stores to see whether TP supplies have come in.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

In Tclβ2019, Day 3, someone did a LED lights demo with this (after a similar demo using !Arduino).
Like other such demos, it gets boring quickly, but the point is to show the possibilities, and to provide a starting point for further learning.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments
