Thats actually not totally true. Internally, Tcl has two value types, string representation and actual value representation. Everything DOES have a string-representation though- some are made up (like file handles, fileX) and some are just ASCII forms of the values underneath (like integers). Tcl is cool because you can manipulate the string form of values incredibly easily, but people confused this with "Everything is a string". It should be "Everything can be manipulated like a string".
