OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for object-oriented programming. It shouldn’t be confused with the IXI Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but both of them 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 fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core hacks)
