By
shakna
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Wacl is a Tcl distribution for WebAssembly that enables developers to embed a Tcl interpreter in web browsers, allowing Tcl code to run client-side alongside JavaScript. It builds upon the Emtcl project and aims to make Tcl's extensive package ecosystem (like Tcllib) available for web development, bridging traditional Tcl development with modern web technologies.
