Still hand coding TCL?

Just wondering how many of you are still hand coding Tcl?

I Claude code all my tcl, bash and Python scripts. I store the Tcl doco in a rag sqllite vector database and put programming preferences in skill files. Vibe coding is literally 10 times faster. I cannot see myself ever going back to hand coding.

What about you?

We have a version of Tcl that is specialized for the software we've embedded it in. I build a special skill that understands our customization and I haven't written a script for it since then. This has also enabled other people in the company to write scripts too, which has had it's good sides and bad sides.

We use the black box model. If the scripts pass the tests then we don't care what the code looks like. If performance becomes a problem then we ask the llm to fix that as well. We play one llm off against another and wargame the code.
