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.

Here is a little plaything I created - https://cmacleod.me.uk/play/whizzery.htm
It's primarily intended for my son, who has autism and learning difficulties, but might provide some amusement to other people. It's a self-contained file with a little html and about 500 lines of Javascript. It should work on desktop or mobile devices. A friend who did some beta testing described as like an online fidget spinner. 😀

Here's something I've been working on: "Reactive Programming Infrastructure for Tcl"
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/ReacTcl
It enables writing interactive programs in a mostly-functional style, but where the inputs to the functions can change and these changes propagate through the system.
