  1. They mirror to Github. https://github.com/tcltk/tcl
    comment by sigzero · 2024-09-27 · in Tcl 9.0
  2. I've never seen C code as clear and well documented as tcl. E.g. https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/main/generic/tclUtil.c , though more examples in that project are not hard to find.

  3. …the interpreter. It consists of only 150 SLOC. Anyone could add readline if they really needed it. https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/unix/tclAppInit.c

  4. Whenever I look at the Tcl source code, I'm impressed by how clean it is: https://github.com/tcltk/tcl

  5. Tcl has some nice code done in a similar style: https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/generic/tclEvent.c

  6. …contained here and its readability: https://github.com/stuarthalloway/programming-clojure/blob/m... https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/generic/tclCompile.... Grabbed at random. I think the larger indentation and fewer parens do make…

  8. I'm a fan of the Tcl/Apache/BSD style. Indeed, Tcl has nice C code: https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/generic/tclCompile....

  9. I'm partial to the Tcl C code: https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/generic/tclFCmd.c It's very nicely commented and has a nice, easy to read style throughout ( except for the regexp files).

  10. I am kind of partial to Tcl's C code: https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/blob/master/generic/tclConfig.c Although I think arguing for less uppercase/camelcase would not be entirely out of place. Still though, it's very nice to read.
