Ah, the memories. The startup I joined in 1999 had its own application server loosely based on AOLServer architecture. We had Apache + mod_tcl, IIS with our own ISAPI extension, then in box connections for all major RDMS across all key UNIXes and Windows NT/2000. Some left to join companies doing Vignette projects, others eventually created OutSystems redoing the same ideas, but with the newly released .NET. However it was also a lesson in performance issues, and the constant pressure to rewrite Tcl code into C extensions. | ||

I used it when I worked at AOL :) Was great for rapid prototyping and a/b testing in volume. Not sure I'd pick it ever again for anything, but it was interesting for sure. | ||

I remember using tcl inside pages running under Vignette Story Server circa 2000 before we started with jsp | ||
