Tclint – chip design inspired dev tools for Tcl

In plain words

Tclint provides modern development tooling for the Tcl programming language, including a linter with plugin support for non-standard commands, a code formatter, and a language server with VS Code integration. Originally created to address the lack of contemporary tools for Tcl used in chip design automation, it is currently used at semiconductor companies and other organizations. The tool is actively developed with planned improvements including expanded linter checks, better extensibility, and enhanced support for chip design formats.

Modern dev tools for Tcl • includes a linter, formatter, and editor integration. - nmoroze/tclint

tclint is a collection of modern dev tools for Tcl. It includes a linter, a formatter, and a language server that provides Tcl support to your editor of choice. tclint example.tcl If the file contains any lint violations, they will be printed and tclint will return a non-zero exit code. Otherwise, the output will be empty and tclint will exit successfully. $ cat example.tcl if { [expr {$input > 10}] } { puts $input is greater than 10! } $ tclint example.tcl data/example.tcl:1:6: unnecessary command substitution within expression [redundant-expr] data/example.tcl:2:3: too many args for puts: got 5, expected no more than 3 [command-args] Usage tclint is a command-line utility.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I used to work at a small semiconductor startup that wrote chip design automation infrastructure in Tcl. One of our engineers wanted modern dev tooling for Tcl but couldn't find any - so I decided to build it. Since then, I've been working on tclint in my spare time. It now includes: - A linter (with plugins to…

  My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools2025 · aicode.danvoronov.com · ▲101

  I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

  Openleetcode – Local LeetCode runner where tests live in the repoAug 2026 · github.com · ▲73

  You write a standard solution, just like on LeetCode, and run it through the CLI. It identifies the problem by ID or title, executes your code against local test cases, and shows the result. It currently supports around 1.4k problems and multiple languages, including Python, C++, Rust, Java, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and others. The project is still an MVP. System design, SQL, and concurrency problems are not supported yet, but support for more problem types is planned. Made in Haskell!

  Txtl – Fast static website of text utilities2025 · viveksjain.github.io · ▲65

  I often need simple text tools (e.g. diffing, epoch time conversion, number base conversion) and was frustrated that I couldn't find a simple option that was as fast as I wanted. Many (SEO-optimized) websites exist, but they unnecessarily send your input to their servers. I used tools like DevToys but their diff has been broken on Mac for a while [1] and it requires installing an app, and CyberChef is good but requires too many interactions (yes, I'm picky). So, I decided to build my own. txtl tries to autodetect what mode you want based on the input, and in general is fast and gets out of…

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Tetris in a PDF▲1,289

  I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

  I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
