The government is still using compiler software products for software development. Meanwhile Blue Force Tracking (FBCB2) was developed with tcl/Tk which allowed for rapid development. When does government understand that the age of compiler languages are out and that tcl/tk should be used for software development.

So the government is using outdated software development practices by not implementing their software in a scripting language? Really? So it is, for example, outdated to implement software in C++ since it is a compiled programming language?
There are many advantages to compiled languages, and they are certainly not outdated. One such advantage is that they are faster than interpreted languages since they are compiled into machine code.
I don’t understand how the government is outdated for implementing their programs in compiled languages?
