- OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for
- object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI
- Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but we both like the
- name and have been using it for a while.)
- Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are:
- * designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground
- up
- * builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another
- language
- * compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS,
- Smalltalk, and Self)
- * fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core
- hacks)
- OTcl was presented at the Tcl/Tk Workshop '95. It constitutes a
- standalone release of a system that has been in use, embedded in the
- VuSystem, for two years. We made the release public (with free use,
- distribution and modification under the MIT license) to meet the
- demand for object-oriented programming in Tcl.
