* Either Visual Basic or Java is a decent choice for little programs.
Tcl is an embeddable scripting language. Perl is mainly a system
administration and shell script language. Both are primarily Unix
based. In what sense are Visual Basic or Java appropriate for the
typical uses of Tcl or Perl?
To start with, Visual Basic runs only on PC's and Java isn't even in
Beta yet!
