'it's still the defacto standard in the electronic design automation industry.'
Can you elaborate on that? I know nothing about that industry but I still have some nostalgia for Tcl despite of using Ruby now.
In the past I was a solid Tcl user (couple years ago even did a small custom Linux distro where bash was replaced with Tcl & installater was written in Tcl/Tk. It was fun!)
My thoughts on its ~ 0 popularity are:
* No Rails equivalent.
* No gems equivalent. In modern world it is a disaster. (One could notice how quickly nodejs got its npm.)
* 8.6 and OO system are in aplha/beta stage for 6 (?) years. Many of us just gave up waiting.
I still remember '2007 would be a great year for Tcl.' What a joke.
