Package: libotcl1-dev (1.14+dfsg-4)

static library of OTcl

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)

OTcl was created by David Wetherall as part of the VUsystem project at MIT. Since 1997, OTcl has been maintained as part of the Mash and VINT/ns efforts (with David's blessing).

This package contains static library and header files.
