SUMMARY:Karl Lehenbauer\, "TCL: The Tool Command Language - LISP for the Masses"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1991 TCL looked to me like LISP for the masses. It had a lot going for it. Minimal syntax. Really good with lists. At ease with recursion\, yet better at manipulating text\, in my opinion\, which also I felt was really important. It seemed way more accessible for the journeyman programmer\, whom I had found it difficult to get to engage with LISP. \nAn embeddable interpreter with a small footprint\, TCL was intended to replace the myriad special purpose scripting languages that had proliferated in the 1980s with something that was capable\, flexible\, easy to learn\, and free. \nI was an early proponent of the language\, contributed to its development\, and used it extensively while building two successful\, and one unsuccessful\, businesses. \nIn this talk I’ll introduce TCL\, talk about my hopes for it\, how and why we used it\, and attempt to illuminate where it succeeded\, and where I think it has fallen short. \nI intend to leave the participants with a basic understanding of the language\, some of my a-little-bit-off-the-beaten-path precepts about what needs to be in a language for it to be successful\, and useful\, and appropriate for solving problems. \n\nBio:  Karl Lehenbauer is a founding employee of FlightAware and has served as Chief Technology Officer since 2005. In his role as CTO\, Lehenbauer leads the development and engineering teams\, based in FlightAware’s Houston office. \n\nThe principal architect of FlightAware’s flight tracking technologies\, Lehenbauer brings decades of experience designing and managing the development of large\, real-time\, mission critical applications spanning aircraft systems\, electricity generation\, transmission and distribution\, and oilfield applications. He is regarded as an Internet pioneer and was the founder of the first Internet Service Provider in the Southern United States\, which he sold in the 1990s. Previously\, Lehenbauer served as an architect and developer for GE Aircraft Instruments’ engine monitoring and analysis devices. He was a major contributor to the design of the Tcl programming language\, author or coauthor of numerous Tcl extensions\, and is also a contributor to The Apache Project among other open source Internet projects and protocols dating back to the mid-1980s. \nLehenbauer is an avid cyclist\, kayaker and outdoorsman\, as well as an ASA stock car driver and instructor. He lives in Houston with his wife\, Ellyn. \nLehenbauer holds an FAA pilot certificate. \n\nClaude Rubinson is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic: Houston Functional Programmers\nTime: Oct 20\, 2021 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://uhd.zoom.us/j/98692952385?pwd=Z1ZpM2VwNkNNREpETXl2bGR3Y2tuQT09 \nMeeting ID: 986 9295 2385\nPasscode: recursion\nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,98692952385# US (Houston)\n+19712471195\,\,98692952385# US (Portland) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 986 9295 2385\nFind your local number: https://uhd.zoom.us/u/acf2gZwbl2 \nJoin by SIP\n98692952385@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 986 9295 2385\nPasscode: 766552548 \nJoin by Skype for Business\nhttps://uhd.zoom.us/skype/98692952385 \n
