History

Tcl and Tk was created by Dr. John. Ousterhout while teaching at teh University of California, Berkeley, California. He got the idea for Tcl while on sabbatical leave at DEC's Western Research Laboratory in the fall of 1987. But he didn't start implementing it until Spring 1988. The first external releases of Tcl were in 1989. Tk implemention began in 1989, and the first release of Tk was in 1991. After being developed by Sun for a while, Dr. Ousterhout begun a business called Scriptics, a company dedicated to scripting tools, applications, and services. Here current versions of Tk/Tcl are being created and updated. For Dr. Ousterhout's work, Dr. Ousterhout and Scriptics were awarded the 1997 Software System Award by the ACM.
