Regular Expressions: Tile makes Tcl look good
Tile will change the face of computing.
Well, maybe. It could; Tile's a Tcl project, though, and Tcl doesn't operate the same as other languages or programs. So, while Tile might have an enormous affect on standard practices for development of graphical user interface (GUI) projects, there are no guarantees.
Everywhere, but hidden
Let's look at the facts. The Thirteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference was October 9-13, just outside Chicago, Illinois. Keynote speaker Richard Hipp spoke about SQLite. From a business standpoint, SQLite is exceptionally successful: it's in mission-critical use inside Microsoft's Xboxes, at the Federal Aviation Administration, as part of Sun's Solaris 10, in system software for Apple and AOL, in products sold by GE, Toshiba, and Symbian, as part of Firefox and PHP, in ships at sea and vital telecommunications hubs, and literally millions of other locations. Beyond its current diffusion, Hipp has specific plans to make SQLite indispensable for an entire new generation of search-enabled applications.
Even some accomplished SQLite programmers, though, aren't aware of its nature as a Tcl extension.
That's typical.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
