+Jim is an opensource small-footprint implementation of the Tcl programming
+language. It implements a large subset of Tcl and adds new features like
+references with garbage collection, closures, built-in Object Oriented
+Programming system, Functional Programming commands, first-class arrays and UTF-
+8 support. All this with a binary size of about 100-200kB (depending upon
+selected options).
+
+The Jim core is very stable. Jim passes over 3000 unit tests and many Tcl
+programs run unmodified. Jim is highly modular with the possiblity to configure
+many components as loadable modules, or omitted entirely. A number of extensions
+are included with Jim which may be built as loadable modules.
