Picol is a fun-size Tcl interpreter: the version in this repository is around 5.5 KSLOC.
Picol was originally written by Salvatore Sanfilippo in 2007 and then significantly extended by Richard Suchenwirth the same year.
This fork,
started almost a decade later,
splits Picol into a C header library (picol.h) for embedding in applications
and a REPL program (interp.c).
It includes a number of new commands and fixes for correctness and Tcl 8.6 compatibility.
Examples programs that embed Picol are can be found in the directory
examples/.
Note that Picol is not intended for serious production use.
