     <b>Flexible</b>

 : Tcl lets you program in the way you
                   want.  For example, you can program in a style that fits
                   your needs, either quick-and-dirty, mixing up HTML and
                   Tcl script to create dynamic web pages fast, or, should
                   you require more organization, for a larger, complex site, Tcl
                   works very well with the 'three tier' model currently in
                   vogue and used by many java systems.
                 </p>

 <p>
     <b>Multi-Purpose</b>

 : Tcl can be used for the web,
                 but also for a variety of other tasks.  It was designed
                 as a general purpose "Tool Command Language", infact, to
                 provide users with a language adept at performing a wide
                 range of jobs, including system administration, rapid
                 GUI creation with the Tk graphical toolkit, internet
                 protocol glue, testing harnesses and so on...  This
                 means you can learn one language and use it for many
                 things!
                 </p>

 <p>
     <b>Wide Industry Use</b>

 : Tcl has a liberal Open
                 Source license (BSD) which has helped spread it within
                 the industry, both as a stand-alone product, as well as
                 embedded within applications as an extension language.
                 It is used by such industry front-runners as Cisco, AOL,
                 CNET, and many others.
                 </p>

 <p>
     <b>Fast, Light</b>

 : Tcl is fast, having undergone
                 major improvements in the past years.  System resources
                 are also impacted lightly - Tcl takes up relatively
                 small amounts of disk and memory space.
                 </p>

 <p>
     <b>Easy</b>

 : A simple syntax, and lots of
                 documentation, both in print and on the web, make Tcl
                 an easy language to learn, both for the experienced
                 software professional as well as for students, web
                 authors, hobbyists and others, who find that with a
                 little bit of learning, they can accomplish a great
                 deal.
                 </p>

 <p>
     <b>Existing Code</b>

 : There are thousands upon
                 thousands of lines of existing code to be used, either
                 as examples to be learned from, to be included
                 directly in your code, or as extensions to perform a
                 range of common tasks - image manipulation, email,
                 XML, SOAP, HTTP, socket programming, etc...
                 </p>
