One of the best points of Tcl is that it enables clean mixing of C (or whatever) with scripting. C language subroutines can be exported as Tcl commands and invoked from within a script. When Tk was originally written, it was assumed that Tcl/Tk would be used only for writing programme interfaces, with exported C functions as widget callbacks. And of course, if one wishes to make more extensive use of Tcl (for instance, including an interpreter in a programme), one can control the interpreter from C code. Michael
