TCL
keg-only
Tcl/Tk programming language and GUI toolkit, version 8.6 (keg-only).
Why you might care
Tcl is a lightweight embeddable scripting language often used in system automation, test frameworks, and embedded systems; Tk provides a cross-platform GUI toolkit. This keg-only formula preserves the 8.6 branch for legacy projects that cannot migrate to newer versions. Useful as a build/runtime dependency for software expecting this specific Tcl/Tk version.
