Here are some tips up front. In Tcl, everything is a string. There are no types. There is no assignment using and assignment operator. There are no infix expressions outside of a "expr" call.

Quartus and Tcl

Quartus is the Intel (Altera) FPGA design software. I found this on an Intel FPGA site. I find it interesting that both Xilinx and Altera used Tcl in their software.
