A marvelously adaptable language, effectively usable in broad range of domains from embedded to complex GUI applications. Supports OOP, functional, mixed paradigms. Very flexible with "out-of-the-box" features for event-driven, database, GUI, cross-platform apps, etc. Integrates with C by design.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Install from the command line

  • brew install tcl-tk

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is Tcl?

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn dynamic programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses, including web and desktop applications, networking, administration, testing and many more. Open source and business-friendly, Tcl is a mature yet evolving language that is truly cross platform, easily deployed and highly extensible.

Tk is a graphical user interface toolkit that takes developing desktop applications to a higher level than conventional approaches. Tk is the standard GUI not only for Tcl, but for many other dynamic languages, and can produce rich, native applications that run unchanged across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and more.
