Time does move on, but not necessarily for good reasons. TCL is the best way to embed programmability into C or C++ code; Oousterhout’s writings on modularity and composability explain why this is so useful to those that lack the experience of winning with it. But we have to use YAML for ops instead and wait for the scarse and slow Go or Java or whatever teams to extend their yaml interpreters every time we need a value to be a loop instead of one value.

One of the best ways.
See also, Lua.
Last time I checked, embedding Lua in C or C++ was _way_ easier than embedding Tcl
Could you please unpack that? I'm really curious what the differences are.
