Line 2: This is a short discussion of the tasks that are marked with the omit template. —[[User:Dkf\|Dkf]] 09:14, 21 May 2009 (UTC) ; [[Parametric Polymorphism]]▼ ~~[[BNF Grammar]]~~ : Tcl's got a grammar, but it only works at the level of the base language syntax, and that's just not a level that Tclers think about that much. (For example, it doesn't tell you anything about <code>while</code>, let alone that it has an embedded block of code.) It is also about as difficult to write down as reimplementing the Tcl parser in another language. [[Constrained Genericity]]▼ : This is a specialization of the Parametric Polymorphism task, so all comments there apply here too.▼ ~~[[Evens Sum To Even]]~~ : Need the concept of proof in the language for this, and this is really an area that Tcl doesn't address. The formal way to fix it is to write a theorem prover in Tcl, but that'd be a ridiculous amount of work. ▲[[Parametric Polymorphism]] : Tcl doesn't have static typing, making this task ridiculously trivial/non-applicable. Note also that the task itself states that it only applies to languages with static typing. ▲; [[Constrained Genericity]] ▲: This is a specialization of the Parametric Polymorphism task, so all comments there apply here too. == Language features ==
