TCL
Tcl/Tk interpreter and graphical toolkit for building cross-platform GUI applications.
Why you might care
Tcl is a lightweight scripting language commonly used for automation, testing, and rapid prototyping; Tk provides built-in bindings for creating native-looking GUIs without external dependencies. It's a build/runtime dependency for many tools and useful when you need a minimal, portable scripting environment with GUI capabilities.
