XOTcl: Object-oriented scripting language.
XOTcl, also known as exotickle, is a powerful object-oriented scripting language that is based on MIT's OTcl. It serves as a superior replacement for OTcl and is an open source project led by Gustaf Neumann and Uwe Zdun, with contributions from various developers such as Neophytos Demetriou, Fredj Dridi, Laurent Duperval, Teemu Hukkanen, and more.
With scripting languages designed for component integration and dynamic extensibility, XOTcl's dynamic typing automatically converts different data types, which is perfect for fast application development. The language's basic object system is inherited from OTcl, allowing users to define objects, classes, and meta-classes. Classes are responsible for managing other objects, creating and destroying instances, and containing a repository of methods accessible to the instances.
XOTcl supports single and multiple inheritance, with dynamic relationships that can be introspected. Method chaining avoids naming ambiguities in the resolution of methods and enables shadowed methods to be seamlessly integrated into the current method's execution.
XOTcl combines the best of both worlds by merging object-orientation and scripting ideas to create a language that manages and builds advanced systems elegantly. Additionally, the language provides novel functionalities such as support for the following:
The possibilities with XOTcl are endless, making it a versatile choice for developers with dynamic projects.
