A lot of 'enterprise' products started using it (some still do)
 as their scripting engine some 10 years ago. I guess it was
the only easily embeddable language with a permissive enough
license at the time. I've only used it in the context of those
products, and I don't really remember much. I also remember
first-gen Linux sysadmin GUI tools(!) were done in Tcl/Tk.

I can't testify as to whether it's good or bad, but I think
a lot of people will be 'T? what?' when you bring up Tcl.
The numbers cited in '20 things...' notwithstanding, it's
far from being a mainstream language (whether you care about
this or not is a different matter, though).
