25 years ago, I worked on a team that built a full online retail brokerage in Tcl (including web page generation). It made me love the language as a developer, but the runtime performance on late 1990s hardware (especially pre-Tcl8) was pretty poor.

I've since reached for Tcl several times per year and enjoy it each time.

My first industry job was almost on Aolserver: https://github.com/aolserver/aolserver#readme but I didn't have the discipline at the time to make it through the tech screen. In retrospect, I dodged a bullet, but I'm still glad I tried it cause it was for sure horizon-broadening
