Line 6:
[[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.
[[Memory Allocation]]
: It's not that we can't do this. It's that we don't. One of the good things about Tcl is exactly not having to deal with this sort of thing. It's a whole layer of stuff that we avoid. But if we were to do it, we'd be looking in terms of:
:* Using <code>string repeat</code> or <code>lrepeat</code>
:* Using SWIG or critcl to write a bridge to a C allocator
:* Showing how to do the classic handle-for-structure extension scheme, as documented in JO's book (and updated for the modern age)
[[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.
