Scripting language originally called Tool Command Language that unlike most other such languages is maintained and controlled by a single company that has a core version that is open source and sell more advanced versions as closed source commercial software. The convention is to call it Tcl rather than TCL since its name is now considered to be Tcl and not an acronym for Tool Command Language. Development of the language and toolkit was extremely rapid in the 1990's but has slowed down considerably in the last 15 years.
