    I did some Tcl work a quarter century agi, but really if I were in the market for an extension glue language today, I'd reach for Lua first.

      How come? I don't have enough experience with either to have a preference, but I'd love to hear the opinion of someone more familiar.

        The everything is a string approach shows its limits quite quickly. Lua is also extremely performant, which is not always needed in a glue language, but still good to have.
