ActiveTcl: Leading Tcl Distribution
Commercial Support For End-to-End TCL Solutions
TCL: World’s Best Kept Secret
Tcl (Tool Control Language) has been the standard for rapid prototyping, scripted applications, GUI creation, testing automation, and more for over 20 years. Tcl is a general-purpose, dynamic programming language that can be found in everything from Cisco routers to the NBC network control system to TiVo set-top boxes to the Mars Pathfinder.
Tcl is every coder’s most flexible tool. It features rapid development, an elegant networking model, support for concurrency, localization, and cross platform GUI’s. Plus, it’s easy to learn and simple to deploy.
World’s Best TCL Distribution
ActiveTcl is the only choice for vital business applications or in open source projects. ActiveTcl is the industry standard, commercial-grade Tcl distribution. It is used by millions of coders around the world for fast, easy Tcl installation, and quality-assured code. ActiveTcl offers worry-free implementation and significant time savings over open source Tcl when it comes to installing, removing, upgrading and managing common Tcl modules. ActiveTcl comes precompiled for out-of- the-box installation, but also includes dozens of popular extensions.
Fail-Safe TCL For Enterprises
ActiveTcl licenses cover everything from enterprise-level technical support and consulting to OEM redistribution rights to indemnification against IP infringement lawsuits. You can deploy your mission critical applications with confidence knowing you’re using the industry’s most secure, enterprise grade Tcl build.
You’ll get priority access via email and/or phone to our Tcl experts. They have more than 20 years of expertise and tens of thousands of man hours resolving technical issues. You won’t need to depend on overworked internal resources or public Tcl communities to keep your development schedule on track.
Embedded TCL
Tcl is a compact language. So it is typically embedded in C applications running on special hardware, such as tele-com equipment, electronic design automation (EDA) and computer-aided design (CAD) applications.
ActiveState’s OEM license provides organizations with turnkey, royalty-free distribution rights. The OEM agreement overrides the individual open source licenses and offer the warranties, guarantees and indemnification enterprises need. Now you can deploy your code worry-free.
