Subject: README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Mar 8)

No big new releases, but some more good discussions this week.
The Tcl vs. Perl one I think characterized well how level-headed,
practical, and reasonable this community is.  Such a shame we
haven't had a Stallman post in a while... ;-)

    John Ousterhout fails to dredge up controversy by asking
    "Why do you hate Perl?" but gets some good arguments for both
        http://x8.dejanews.com/thread/450022348

    A Tcl vs. Java thread suggests that Tk plus a package like
    BWidgets would become a good contender with Java's Swing
        http://x8.dejanews.com/thread/450835927

    A public release of Tcl/Tk 8.0.5 seems imminent
        http://x8.dejanews.com/thread/450673291

    There was a renewed call for major/minor support in the core
        http://x8.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=450360922

    An good introductory discussion on why scripting can be more
    reliable than systems programming languages.
        http://x8.dejanews.com/thread/451470251

    Andreas Kupries helpfully catalogs the list extensions offered
    by various packages
