Actually, many of the early experiments in "agenting"--safe
evaluation of network-loaded code--were done with Tcl.  This
was before Java acquired the name it now has.  It's possible
to make an argument that the Tcl security model, which is
quite distinct from Java's, is safer.

But you were around for this, weren't you, Darren?
