Really? I do. In fact, it was the first scripting language I learned, 
direct from O~'s book. I found it ridiculously easy.

I reserve the right to disagree with your opinion. I wrote an email 
client in TCL 4 years ago. It was maybe 2500 lines. OK, not a HUGE app, 
but the largest I've ever written.

Unfortunately, i ended up hating it as much as every other mail client 
I've ever used (until Mail.app, which I hate significantly less than 
all the rest).
