Programming Languages That Suck
===============================
I remember that once there was a trend of criticizing programming languages.
I always thought programming languages help you achieve things: you could
pass exams and get good grades because you know how to use them, and later
you could earn money for knowing them and using them.
The only time I remamber that I complained about a language, was back in
the days I worked for Amdocs and still wrote in C though more advanced
languages were in use. I liked writing in Java.
The first time I saw that a language is criticized was in some internet
forum, where someone criticized PHP with a link to an article that explains
why. You can find a list of programming languages that suck here:

Somehow, I haven't found Tcl in the list. Trying to deal with the JSON 
package got me frustrated because in Tcl JSON serialization cannot be 
recursive; the data type used for both lists and dictionaries is the same:
a string. So, JSON cannot interpret it. It is the programmer's responsibility.
For eample: 
* if you want a value to be a string, use 

  json::write string <value>

* if you want to lists elements as an array, use 

  json::write array <value> <value> <value>

* If you want to create an object, use:

  json::write object <key> <value> <key> <value> <key> <value>


Now, what if you want to take a list and make a JSON array of it?

  eval json::write array <list>

So, I looked for an article to which I could add "Tcl" in a comment.
