Tclint – chip design inspired dev tools for Tcl

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 support non-standard commands) - A formatter - A language server + VS Code extension tclint is already being used at my former employer and elsewhere. I have lots of ideas for improvements, such as more linter checks, better extensibility, deeper support for chip design formats (e.g., SDC-specific linter checks), and expanding the language server. If you write Tcl, give tclint a try! I’d love to hear if you find it useful, and I’d especially love suggestions on what would make it even better.
