In "Official" Tcl, typing puts $tcl_version would print the version number; failing that, it would report that the variable tcl_version has not been set. Inferno's Tcl instead prints $tcl_version so I'm guessing that it is not closely related to the "Official" Tcl. However, it might be an easier starting point for a port, since the compiler, and the native UTF-8 support, will be similar to Plan 9. Tcl has had Unicode support since v8.1, but this is a late add-on to the project, at the application level.
