The first ever programming language I learnt was C++, which is probably one of my favorite languages to this date.

This also happened to be the first language I used professionally, in my first ever software developer role. The second language that I used professionally however, is one that I had never heard of before... one that ended up being quite strange.

Dreams of Code

An exploration of TCL (Tool Command Language), a programming language where everything is a string — including types, data structures, commands, and even the language syntax itself. Covers basic syntax, string interpolation with braces vs quotes, eval and expr commands, functions (proc), control flow commands (if, while, for), lists and dictionaries as structured strings, explicit scoping with global/upvar/uplevel, and practical use cases including embedding in other applications, its influence on Redis, and the Tk GUI framework. Includes code examples demonstrating TCL's quirks and how they enable dynamic scripting and DSL creation.
