TTOTW (Tcl Testimonial of the Week):
    For me, I was a VB/ Delphi programmer that needed to do some
    Unix GUI stuff.  I was recommended Tcl, but was reluctant to
    learn it as I only had six weeks to deliver the project (the
    6 week time scale was based on VB development times). Anyway,
    I tried it, and thanks to the help of this newsgroup, finished
    the project in a morning ( + 2 days learning ).  2 more days
    of tweaks the customer decided they couldn't live without,
    and the project was in place. That project is in daily use
    three years on.

In the same thread, Steve Offutt tells it like it is:
    You will also find that this (clt) is the most courteous, and
    *HELPFUL* newsgroup on the net.  The professionals here are
    always helpful, and quite giving of both their time and
    expertise, to enable us beginners to become productive.
