| What | '''Eagle''' (Extensible Adaptable Generalized Logic Engine) | | Where | https://eagle.to/ | | Description | Eagle is an implementation of the [Tcl] scripting language for the Common Language Runtime ([CLR]). | | Current Release| '''Beta 46 (v1.0.7790.43198, Released 2021.02.21)''' | | License | Tcl license | | Who | [Joe Mistachkin] | ** News ** 2021/02/21 As of the beta 46 release of Eagle, support for building against and running on the .NET Core 3.0 runtime (which conforms to the .NET Standard 2.1) has been added. 2018/03/27 As of the beta 42 release of Eagle, support for building against and running on the .NET Core 2.0 runtime (which conforms to the .NET Standard 2.0) has been added. 2016/11/22 Per the announcement at [Twenty-third Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2016)], the [Eagle Sandbox Contest] is now live. 2016/03/08 The [https://www.eagle-lang.org/%|%Live Language Demonstration%|%] is online. ---- As of the beta 35 release of Eagle, it is much easier to customize existing [ensemble%|%ensembles] in [C#]. As of the beta 34 release of Eagle, support for conversion to arbitrary Delegate derived types has been added. As of the beta 33 release of Eagle, [file stat] has been implemented. As of the beta 31 release of Eagle, [string match] has been enhanced with curly brace support, similar to how [glob] works in native Tcl. As of the beta 30 release of Eagle, full Tcl 8.4 compliant namespace support has been added. However, creative reading/writing of variables is purposely not implemented. 2012/06/02 - The OpenBSD ports entry can be seen here [http://openports.se/lang/eagle]. 2011/06/05 [JJM] - The initial public version of [Garuda] (Eagle Package for Tcl) has been released. 2011/01/18 [JJM] - The project is finally available on [http://eagle.sourceforge.net/%|%SourceForge%|%] as well. 2009/09/15 [JJM] - Apparently, the SourceForge project approval was simply dropped on the floor after nearly a year and my emails to them have gone unanswered; therefore, the project will simply remain on CodePlex and nowhere else. 2009-02-07 [JJM] - I would really appreciate help in testing the latest build on different platforms (e.g. Windows 2000 (totally untested), Windows XP, Vista, 7 Beta, 64-bit, Mono on Linux/Unix/Mac OS X, etc). To make testing as streamlined as possible, I have added an interactive command "#test" that runs the entire test suite. 2008/12/08 [JJM] - Preliminary support for running on [Mono] 2.0+ has been added. When running on Mono, using version 2.6 or higher is recommended, as several critical issues have been identified and fixed. The latest build adds support for TIP 335 [http://tip.tcl.tk/335] and TIP 336 [http://tip.tcl.tk/336]. 2008/10/11 [JJM] - The project will soon be hosted on [CodePlex] at [http://www.codeplex.com/eagle] for the time being. Meanwhile, ''preview'' source and binary releases are available on the project web site. Thanks to [Pat Thoyts] and [Jeffrey Hobbs] for helping me a great deal during the release process. 2008/09/18 [JJM] - The project registration is still pending approval over at [SourceForge]. The one that you are seeing has been abandoned and has nothing to do with this project. ** More information ** The web site is here [https://eagle.to/].

[Eagle: Re-implementing Tcl in C#] ** Conferences ** Eagle was presented at the [http://www.altnetseattle.org/%|%Alt.NET 2011 Seattle Conference%|%].

This article is basically a stub for now, more information will be forthcoming. ** Discussion ** [dbohdan] 2015-08-01: I found this page difficult to parse, so I restructured it creating sections that I thought would be the best for organizing the information here. I ordered the news items and the discussions topics chronologically newest to oldest. JJM, I hope you don't mind the changes. ---- '''[000] - 2014-03-12 04:02:24''' Anybody knows how this fly with Modern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Runtime%|%WindowsRuntime%|%? If it does well, it can open a way to simply and easily make Tcl-enabled Windows (Phone) Store Apps! ---- '''[Lectus] - 2011-05-08 08:46:11''' This project is an awesome idea and should help people integrate Tcl in their .NET projects and should bring more visibility/popularity to Tcl. ---- [mh2] It seems to me that ToCharArray method of the class String returns "tcl list of characters", not .NET object; eagle {set s1 [object create -alias String "qqq www eee"]} eagle {$s1 ToCharArray} #% q q q { } w w w { } e e e as a result, I can not call BlockCopy method: catch { eagle { set b1 [object create -alias {Byte[]} 1000] object invoke System.Buffer BlockCopy [$s1 ToCharArray] 0 $b1 0 [$b1 Length]} } err; set err #% could not convert method #3 "System.Buffer.BlockCopy" argument #0 "src" with value "q q q { } w w w { } e e e" to type "System.Array": System.NullReference Is it possible to cope somehow with that problem??? (may be, by using some special options?) [JJM] Sure. In the call to [$s1 ToCharArray], simply use the -create option, like this: [$s1 -create ToCharArray] [mh2] Thanks. Is there somewhere a description of an "object" command and options such as "-create" ? [DEC] I'm sure this would get more traction if some documentation were produced. Coming from a Tcl C perspective I have no idea how to drive this, some more detailed examples would be good. [JJM] The [https://eagle.to/tutorial/01/index.html%|%Eagle Integration Tutorial%|%] is now available. Looking forward to feedback on it. ------ [RS] 2008-10-06: As Eagle is a Tcl reimplementation (somehow comparable to [Jacl] or [tcl.js]?), do you test it with the Tcl test suite? 2008/10/06 [JJM] - Currently, it supports old-style tests and quite a few tests can run unmodified in Eagle; a more extensive test suite is a work in progress.. ------ ''[escargo] 18 Sep 2008'' - The SourceForge web site that is linked to by the official web site ''seems'' to date from the year 2000. -- [JJM] wrong link removed. <>Language|Tcl Implementations | Distribution | Porting | Maintained Tcl Implementations
