It shouldn't be confused with the IXI + Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but we both like the + name and have been using it for a while.) + + Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are: + * designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground + up + * builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another + language + * compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS, + Smalltalk, and Self) + * fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core + hacks) + + OTcl was presented at the Tcl/Tk Workshop '95. It constitutes a + standalone release of a system that has been in use, embedded in the + VuSystem, for two years. We made the release public (with free use, + distribution and modification under the MIT license) to meet the + demand for object-oriented programming in Tcl. + +-Oscar <obonilla@fisicc-ufm.edu> |
