Jim is a small footprint implementation of the Tcl programming language written from scratch.Jim is a small footprint implementation of the Tcl programming language written from scratch. Currently Jim Tcl is very feature complete with an extensive test suite (see the tests directory). There are some Tcl commands and features which are not implemented (and likely never will be), including traces and Tk. However, Jim Tcl offers a number of both Tcl8.5 and Tcl8.6 features ({*}, dict, lassign, tailcall and optional UTF-8 support) and some unique features. These unique features include [lambda] with garbage collection, a general GC/references system, arrays as syntax sugar for [dict]tionaries, object-based I/O and more. Other common features of the Tcl programming language are present, like the "everything is a string" behaviour, implemented internally as dual ported objects to ensure that the execution time does not reflect the semantic of the language
