This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. #Tcl would be a really good #NixOS builder language.
- Incredibly portable
- Easily bootstrappable
- Like bash but without many of its pitfalls
- Like lisp but with an arguably cleaner and more familiar syntax
There are also disadvantages, but you can probably count on one hand programming languages that are suited for the task.
