I know that many on this list will be interested in the following TIP just propsed:
TIP #257: Object Orientation for Tcl http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/257
This is indeed based on xotcl, but it is *not* xotcl. There are good reasons for this overall (but not necessarily for each individual change ;) ). I would like xotcl users who are interested to please read this TIP carefully, but to bear a few items in mind:
I feel slightly uneasy that debate about this TIP is occurring here and on the wiki, and yet notification of its existence hasn't even reached tcl-core yet. I have written some fairly substantial notes on the TIP at http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~nem/newoo.txt . These notes were supposed to be a post to tcl-core, but I don't want to further pre-empt the TIP publication.
I'm only an occassional XOTcl user, so my comments are aimed mostly at what I think would be consistent and useful for Tcl generally, and not consistency with XOTcl.
Anyway, many cheers to you all for kicking off this process.
