Acronym for TCL Command Language.
It is a scripting language embedded in many applications, much like Elisp is used in Emacs and VisualBasic 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 GUIs fairly easy - the VisualBasic of the Unix world, if you will.
