<story><title>TIL: Tcl-inspired command language on top of D</title><url>https://til-lang.github.io/til/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>teleforce</author><text>After C and DasBetterC (safer C) have officially become the subsets of D language [1], it will be very interesting what languages will be the de-facto superset of D. With excellent support for metaprogramming and CTFE in D (amongst other features), these supersets language can be very flexible and fast at the same time.&lt;p&gt;Kudos to the TIL&amp;#x27;s author for trailblazing this idea based on TCL. It will be very beneficial and handy for scripting commands and shell like behaviors. Just wondering is this type based TCL like language similar to Little? [2] Will it eventually support compilation similar to Emacs Lisp? [3]&lt;p&gt;Personally I&amp;#x27;d love to have superset language in D for data science. It should be also easily embeddable and support prototyping like Lua. On top of that it should have excellent support for array, ndarray and dataframe like R [4]. Since it is based on D, then it can fulfil the the requirements for both type A and B data scientists [5].&lt;p&gt;[1]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=27102584&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=27102584&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;wiki.tcl-lang.org&amp;#x2F;page&amp;#x2F;Little&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;wiki.tcl-lang.org&amp;#x2F;page&amp;#x2F;Little&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;arxiv.org&amp;#x2F;abs&amp;#x2F;2004.02504&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;arxiv.org&amp;#x2F;abs&amp;#x2F;2004.02504&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[4]&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;adv-r.had.co.nz&amp;#x2F;Data-structures.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;adv-r.had.co.nz&amp;#x2F;Data-structures.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[5]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.quora.com&amp;#x2F;What-is-data-science&amp;#x2F;answer&amp;#x2F;Michael-Hochster&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.quora.com&amp;#x2F;What-is-data-science&amp;#x2F;answer&amp;#x2F;Michael-Ho...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
