NX is a descendant of XOTcl. To be more precise XOTcl 2 is 
based on a new Tcl package, called "Next Scripting 
Framework", and XOTcl 2 and NX are purely scripted object 
systems. We will present the Framework and NX at the Tcl 
conference next week in Virginia:

Tkinter.Tcl()| seems to support this.

There are multiple implementations for this. For example, 
aolserver/naviserver provide c-based implementations, but 
these are part of the http server c code base. For a simple, 
tcl based implementation, see e.g.:

Gustaf told me "write it by yourself" ;-) but after a lot of search I didn't find the algorithm itself ... Any issues about that ? (google if you don't know what I'm talking about ... I think that for some applications the Rete is simply genious) ... I know that it what ported in some languages for example java, but what about tcl/xotcl ?
Franz Wirl did some work on that. I'll poke him about this.

PS: The posting about the "NX memory leak" of yesterday was 
from a spammer, reusing a posting of a few months ago and 
appending SPAM to it. Sigh.
