<? prevnext "<h1>Tcl is Powerful</h1>" ?>
Tcl's power lies in its extensibility and flexibility.
<p>
The core language gives you a lot - and extensions give you the rest.
<p>
<ul>
<li>Object oriented programming: [incr Tcl]</li>
<li>Web: mod_dtcl, AOLServer, tclhttpd</li>
<li>Database: postgresql, oracle, mysql, etc...</li>
<li>Data structures: graphs, trees</li>
<li>Testing: tcltest</li>
<li>System Administration: expect, scotty (SNMP)</li>
<li>Unix facilities: TclX</li>
</ul>
Tcl is fast - it's byte compiled at run time, like Python. It
also has a lot of high level things that you would expect in a
scripting language - lists, hash tables, easy to use socket
commands, etc...
