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. |

Its creator, John Ousterhout, wrote about it: |

:''“I got the idea for Tcl while on sabbatical leave at DEC's Western Research Laboratory in the fall of 1987. I started actually implementing it when I got back to Berkeley in the spring of 1988; by summer of that year it was in use in some internal applications of ours, but there was no Tk. The first external releases of Tcl were in 1989, I believe. I started implementing Tk in 1989, and the first release of Tk was in 1991.”'' |
