-See
[TCL
].
+A scripting language embedded in many applications, much like
[Elisp
] is used in [Emacs] and VisualBasic is in many MicrosoftWindows applications. It is not well suited for writing large programs, but because it is almost always combined with the [Tk] ToolKit, it's a good choice for writing portable [GUI]-based scripts. Most people would probably consider it obsolete; the dwindling popularity of [Tk] only contributes to this
.
-Though it is an acronym
, [TCL
] is often written
[Tcl].
+[Perl]
, [Python
] and [Ruby] are better choices for complex codebases, while [GTK] and [Qt] nowadays lead the ToolKit pack, though no combination of these makes [GUI]-based scripts as easy to deploy as TclTk.
