'''Tcl''' (short for '''T'''ool '''C'''ommand '''L'''anguage) is a scripting language with very simple syntax, dynamic typing, automatic storage allocation and [[garbage collection]] and native Unicode support. '''Tcl''' is often combined with the [[Tk]] library. As a result, it is often referred to as '''Tcl/Tk'''.
Tcl is known to be supported under a variety of popular operating systems, including [[UNIX]], [[Linux]], [[BSD]], [[Windows]], [[WinCE]], [[PocketPC]], [[Mac OS X]] and [[BeOS]]. Tcl is distributed under the [[wp:BSD licenses|BSD License]].
The Tcl language has been implemented in multiple lower-level languages. The most common one is '''[[libtcl]]''', written in [[C]], which is the engine used to power [[tclsh]] and [[wish]], but others exist. Notably, these include [[Jacl]] and [[Eagle]], which implement Tcl in [[Java]] and [[C sharp|C#]] respectively.
