I’ve written so much code in Tcl/Tk/Expect - but it was all pre-Java; literally before Java 1 was released. Tk was used in lots of Linux apps, most notably Zircon, an awesome IRC client.
I used to think that knowing Tcl was a kind of super power. It was incredibly productive. It was far better for quick scripting than either bash or awk - but large programs could get somewhat unmanageable.
It would be great to see a renaissance of TCL usage, though I’d be pretty much re-learning it today.
