Description:	A small text-oriented embedded language similar to LISP with add-on extensions that allow it to also function more as a shell. Tcl also allows algebraic expressions to be written for simplicity and convenience. Its greatest strength lies in its uniform representation of everything as a string. This is also its weakness. + may be used as an embedded interpreter + exceptions, packages (called libraries) - only a single name-space + provide/require - no dynamic loading ability + 8-bit clean - only three variable types: strings, lists, associative arrays
Bugs:	?
