Since the interview didn't go into your Tcl work I want to use this occasion to thank you for creating Jim Tcl. It is an excellent embedded programming language.

For those of you who are not aware of it take a look at http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html. If you thought Tcl had to be big compared to Lua and others you will be pleasantly surprised, especially since it comes with UTF-8 support out of the box.

Indeed. And thank the core canonical-Tcl developers (past and present) for the inspiring C implementation, and for antirez having the good sense to realize what he was looking at and model his work on it.

You are a great source of inspiration. Actually I need to say thank you for your work.

As a Sicilian living abroad (which must suffer through a healthy share of Mafia/Mamma jokes regularly) thank YOU for projecting a more positive image of the isle and the country.

i'm a naturalized us citizen. just a piece of advice:

if you're sick of the jokes, you don't have to tell people where you're really from. just make something up, or say something sort-of true and then change the subject.

i got pretty sick and tired of explaining myself and dealing with stupid jokes. nobody needs to know anything about you except your close friends.

I know you mean well, but seriously, why should I hide where I'm from ?

Although they tend to be annoying in the long run, these kind of jokes usually are done without any malice.

I just think it's sad how stereotypes tend to be the only things that define a particular place, when there is so much more to be found.

LOL dude. hide where you're from? this is America. what makes you think anything you've heard from anyone about where they are from is the truth?

It is much easier to tell the truth than to convincingly fake where you are from.

An Italian accent is not so easy to conceal, though :)

I think I've been lucky myself - in 6 years living abroad I was questioned a lot only at the apex of the whole Berlusconi debacle... And even then I think it was more out of curiosity than jest. Ymmv, I guess, depending on the environment...

You are a huge inspiration. Thank you sir.

I've been inspired by you ever since your earlier work in the Tcl community.

You're on my list of cool people that I am always interested in following what they are working on.

This is really inspiring to me as a developer working in Italy for an US company, and not leaving because of kids and family.

Thank you for Redis, but also for rekindling a bit of hope in my heart.

You're awesome.

No, thank you!

thank you for sharing with us all these great designs over the years
