“Scripting language now ready for server-class applications,
says Ousterhout.”
“Scriptics Corp has rolled out an updated version of the open
source-distributed Tcl scripting language.
“Tcl 8.1 includes support of multithreaded applications,
internalization features, and a revamped regular expressions
package (for text manipulation), and is billed as a more scalable
and enterprise-level iteration of the popular scripting
language.”
“To boost performance, the multithreading support added in
Version 8.1 permits the use of Tcl to write code that runs on
multiprocessor servers, for higher throughput — for instance with
one thread per processor, according to Ousterhout.”
