Originally "born out of frustration"From the inside flap of Tcl and the Tk Toolkit—according to the author—with programmers devising their own (poor quality) languages intended to be embedded into applications, Tcl quickly gained wide acceptance on its own and is generally thought to be easy to learn, but powerful in competent hands.
