Purpose: links to pages that compare, connect, or sometimes partially reimplement other programming languages to(in) Tcl. For Tcl applications in human, "natural" languages, check the Lish family - and for comparing code snippets with other languages, Tcl in comparison.
- Ada
- APL: Playing APL - An APL playstation
- Playing Assembler
- Basic in Tcl
- Brainfuck: Making the Tcl interpreter understand Brainfuck notation. http://www.fishpool.com/~setok/proj/tclbf/
- C - C Language - Playing C - C struct is Tcl! - C code generators - Building a custom tclsh
- C++: Cplusplus streams and Tcl channels - Invoking Tcl commands from Cplusplus, http://www.cv.nrao.edu/glish/ , Tclobj , Swig , TclCl
- C#: both Tcl and C# provide for event-oriented programming.
- CLIPS (logic programming, expert systems) Playing CLIPS
- Cobol: [there are several Cobol connections] http://isweb34.infoseek.co.jp/computer/bitwalk/cobol_en.html http://members.tripod.com/rpragana/cobol.html http://tiny-cobol.sourceforge.net/ Playing Cobol
- Caml: http://pauillac.inria.fr/camltk/ [surely someone here has played with the Caml/Tk interface?]
- Eiffel: http://www.elj.com/epan/by_author/jb/tcl-eif/ [I know that eiftcl was created at one point to interface Eiffel and Tcl; anything else done in this domain?]
- Erlang
- Forth: RPN in Tcl, Trying FORTH in Tcl, TkFORTH, iFORTH [L1 ]
- FORTRAN: http://www.dci.clrc.ac.uk/Publications/Cookbook/f1.html NaGexTool is a Tk front-end to the NAG FORTRAN 77 library - Arjen Markus has a prototype for embedding Fortran into Tcl and vice versa. (Just contact me - it is still prototypical.)
- G
- Gofer: http://www.informatik.uni-ulm.de/abt/pm/ftp/tkgofer.html
- Guile
- Haskell: Playing Haskell Interfacing Tcl with Haskell
- Hydra: http://www.cybernetics.demon.co.uk/hydra_overview.html
- Icon
- InterLanguage Unification (ILU) [L2 ]

- Joy: Playing Joy
- Ksh
- Limbo: [L3 ]
- Linda: [L4 ]
- Lisp: Tcl and LISP - Playing LISP, http://www.mv.com/users/pw/lisp/
- Logo: Turtle graphics the LOGO way - Turtleshell
- Lua: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/%7Eroberto/lua.html has a Tk binding. There is also Lux [L5 ], which makes Tcl callable from Lua.
- ML: sml_tk [L6 ] is a Standard ML package providing an abstract interface to Tcl/Tk
- Modula-3: http://m3.polymtl.ca/m3/pkgf/contrib/m3tcl/.ghindex.html . See also Preprocessing and Radical Language Modification.
- Perl: There are many points where Perl and Tcl touch, including tclperl and the Perl/Tk FAQ [L7 ].
- Prolog: Playing Prolog, http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/Ciao/
- Python: Playing Python and tclpython - What about http://www.veritas.com/%7Ebrianw/rivet/ - is there continuing support for this Tk without Tcl project? Also ITCLPYTHON [L8 ]. The Typcl extension lets you use Tcl from Python [L9 ], it is part of CritLib [L10 ].
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages and http://www.thinkware.se/cgi-bin/thinki.cgi/UsingPythonWithOtherLanguages are the Python equivalents of this page.
Arts and crafts of Tcl-Tk programming
CL also occasionally comments on this topic in [L12 ].
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_timeline is an interesting Wiki page, a part of an internet encyclopedia. The page provides a time line of applications and programming langauges created from 1840 through 2001.
Then there is the Computer Programming Language Dictionary [L13 ] - check out what it says about Tcl.
http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/lang.html is a discussion of programming languages, and mentions Tcl as the grand daddy of scripting languages.
