Dynamic Languages Toolkit
DLTK (Dynamic Languages Toolkit), is a tool for vendors, researchers, and end-users who rely on dynamic languages. DLTK is a set of extensible frameworks designed to reduce the complexity of building full featured development environments for dynamic languages such as PHP and Perl. Besides a set of frameworks DLTK provides exemplary Tcl, Ruby, Javascript and Python development environments.
