I use tcl in EDA reguarly also. It's quirky, but useful. I'd not choose it for anything non EDA today, but it works well in that niche.
The most horrific thing I discovered about tcl is that curly braces within comments can affect flow control. This is because comments are interpreted as a command that does nothing, not the same as complete ignored. Finding that out the hard way was not fun.
