“Key developers in the Tool Command Language (Tcl) scripting
community gathered this week to draft a standardized way to write
extensions to the multipurpose language.”
“The purpose of the summit, according to Ousterhout, was to take
Tcl to the “next level” and make it “even easier to create and
distribute extensions.”
“Tcl is similar to Perl in the way it serves as scriptable glue
enabling disparate applications, processes, and platforms to work
together.”
