An [Acronym] for __T__ool __C__ommand __L__anguage. It is a scripting language embedded in many applications, much like [Elisp] is used in [Emacs] and VisualBasic is in many MicrosoftWindows applications. (This does not mean these languages have anything in common; actually they're about as far apart from each other as imaginably possible.) While not well suited for writing large programs, its common combination with the [Tk] ToolKit makes creating [GUI]s fairly easy — the VisualBasic of the Unix world, if you will. Most people would probably consider it obsolete; the dwindling popularity of [Tk] only contributes to this. [Perl], [Python] and [Ruby] are all far preferrable.
