# The lang/tcl/8.4 port

## tcl-8.4.19p1 – Tool Command Language

## Description

    Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn dynamic
    programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses, including
    web and desktop applications, networking, administration, testing and
    many more. Open source and business-friendly, Tcl is a mature yet
    evolving language that is truly cross platform, easily deployed and
    highly extensible.

    "Routine maintenance of Tcl/Tk 8.4 has now come to an end.  We intend
    Tcl/Tk 8.4.19 to be the final 8.4.* releases.  The current stable
    releases of Tcl/Tk are 8.5.2, and development has begun on Tcl/Tk 8.6.
    It is possible that a bug fix of great enough importance or severity
    might prompt a release of 8.4.20, but there is no plan for that at the
    moment.  Even that level of support will fade away quickly."
