 All in all, a fairly even handed treatment (though I'd rather not get involved
 in language wars).  Still, this surprised me:

     6. Extensibility. Tcl was designed from the start to be easily extensible.
 This
       means that you can add new features to the language by writing C, C++, or
       Java code.

 Can I really add new feature with Java? Can't I add new features with TCL!?
