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.

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.
