A comment on Extending Tcl. Parent comment

Does Tcl actually have any sort of package manager? I've started writing Tcl scripts again lately after a decade of not touching the language, and and I'm thankful that so far macOS has seemed to include every extension I wanted to use in the Tcl it ships with, but I'm waiting the day I hit a missing extension and have no idea how to install it.

Activestate put teapot on github. I don't use it though, so I don't know how it works yet. > https://github.com/ActiveState/teapot

aside: Everything tcl just worked for you on macOS? Mac having 8.4 rather than 8.6 drove me nuts.

macOS has 8.5 (at least as of macOS 10.12), though that's still not 8.6. And I discovered the TclTLS package it ships with is old and doesn't even support TLSv1.2. But besides that it's been serviceable.
