Summary : object-oriented extension of the Tcl language
|
Description :
[incr Tcl] is an object-oriented extension of the Tcl language. It was created to support more structured programming in Tcl. Tcl scripts that grow beyond a few thousand lines become extremely difficult to maintain. This is because the building blocks of vanilla Tcl are procedures and global variables, and all of these building blocks must reside in a single global namespace. There is no support for protection or encapsulation.
[incr Tcl] introduces the notion of objects. Each object is a bag of data with a set of procedures or \"methods\" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are organized into \"classes\" with identical characteristics, and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain.
