What is Tcl/Tk?

Tcl is a simple-to-learn yet very powerful language. Its syntax is described in just a dozen rules, but it has all the features needed to rapidly create useful programs in almost any field of application - on a wide variety of international platforms.

Tk is a graphical toolkit for Tcl. It allows you to develop graphical applications that run on Windows, Linux, MacOSX and many other platforms.

Tclers are running a very nice Wiki with tons of documentation inside, It's at http://wiki.tcl.tk.

Tcl is a very dynamic and powerful programming language. A few key points of Tcl (mostly shared with Lisp dialects):

• There are no exceptions nor reserved words, all is a command.
• Code and Data are the same thing.
• You can extend the language in itself, write new control stuctures, new OOP systems, just in Tcl.
• There is a central and very flexible data structure, the list.
• The language is simple and can be learned in very little time.
