Priorities

Maintenance
The work on Glish is in a stage of consolidation and maintenance. In general, Glish's capabilities are sufficient both for developers to implement higher-level applications and for users to explore their data. The language is also at about the right level; it is capable enough for complex scripts, while still being approachable by general users.

Targets

Understand speed of TCL/Tk and Glish/Tk
There is currently a perceived performance problem in Glish/Tk, which is especially pronounced when drawing large GUIs. The specific origin is unknown. This target involves determining the specific cause by direct comparison with TCL/Tk, including investigating what fraction of the speed differential is caused by byte-compiling. If simple remedies are apparent short of multi-threading, this target includes their implementation. (DS, H, 4 wk)
