Purpose: collect pointers to various Wiki pages that discuss differences, similarities between Tcl and Unix shell scripting languages. Also collect pointers to tools which help in the interactions between the two.
Recently, someone on news:comp.lang.tcl asked for a reference comparing a language such as bash and tcl, to help a bash programmer to learn to program in Tcl. Is anyone aware of such a help/HOWTO/etc.?
See Tcl Heritage for some of the influences on Tcl from various sources, including a number of Unix shell languages. See also Tcl and other languages.
