“The open-source scripting language known as Tcl went commercial
last week when Scriptics launched BizConnect, an integration server
that uses XML to weave together heterogeneous applications
throughout the enterprise.”
“Tcl, which stands for Tool Command Language and is pronounced
“tickle,” was created nearly a decade ago by John Ousterhout, then
a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and now CEO
of Scriptics. Tcl is often used to create Windows-like interfaces
in Unix programs.”
“BizConnect is the answer to people screaming they don’t
have the infrastructure to deploy XML,” Ousterhout said.
BizConnect will compete with the likes of WebMethods’ B2B server in
the wide open market for business-to-business integration
servers.”
