In the same way that a PHP programmer should not attempt write Python the

adapt to the ways the dialplan works, you can create dialplans which aren't
obfuscated at all. Tcl and Lisp are close cousins to the dialplan in terms of
how they do things. Not everybody is a Lisp programmer, and some people
absolutely detest it. That doesn't make it any less of a good language.

Having done significant work in Tcl, and very interested in this LCR
debate, can you shed light on the similarities between Tcl and the
dial plan? Thx! |

I'd say the most striking resemblance between the two involves the use
of components, which Osterhout describes in his 1994 book on the Tcl/Tk
environment. Rather than creating a singular monolithic language which
is able to do everything, the dialplan relies in great part on the ability to
add new components, whether they be dialplan applications or dialplan
functions, to supplement various tasks. These components act in a
cooperative fashion for whatever the pbx administrator needs to do.
