With the success of Java, many people are exploring object-oriented programming and are finding that for large-scale development it's a much more productive language than C++ or even C. If the simple scripting and rapid prototyping of Tcl/Tk were added, then Java would be the ideal language for almost any situation.
TclJava 0.3 is a proof of concept for connecting Java and Tcl. The dynamicism of Tcl with the speed and portability of Java make a convincing case for combining these two internet ready languages. Security, already strong in Java, is augmented by Tcl's "padded cell" security model, allowing for safe scripting as well as safe applets.
For a taste of what's possible, download tcljava0.3 This has been tested with the JDK 1.0.2, Tcl 74, 7.5 & 7.6, Tk 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 on Solaris 2.4. Currently there's no Windows or Mac version available, but tcljava should be readily compilable under Windows.
