Tcl/Tk 9.0 Release Announcement - https://www.tcl-lang.org/software/tcltk/9.0.html
The first major release in 27 years. 64-bit internal structures, so data can be huge. Full unicode with all the funky new emojis. Zip filesystems, etc., etc.

There's lots of new stuff, and some old cruft has been dumped, so some programs may need a few updates, but there's still a high level of compatibility. The page above links to release notes with details of what's in and what's out.

@[email protected] This is great news! It will make our scientific software even better such as the toolbox we develop within the #GES4SEAS project that is over 90% pure Tcl/Tk. -- Tcl and science are a powerful combination for fast and robust software delevopment!

@[email protected] "The first major release in 27 years" Sounds like writing in a language of eternity.
