Used it third year computer science. Never used it again. "What if you could bash-script a gui?" is a question that you could ask once, but not inflict the answer on anyone else.

Toy; can't say it ever paid off as a language, but Tk was quite handy for much longer.

Tcl was the first scripting language supported by the Swig project. I maintained the Tcl module until about 2001 or so.

Starting using at IBM to create simple GUIs that glued together other scripts.

I became a big TCL fan while writing ASP code in early 2000's. Mostly because at the time it looked far superior to the ASP classic's VBScript. Later on I embedded it in a few hobby projects as a scripting engine etc. before my interest started to die off, in favour of the Python language instead (which was the new hotness at the time).
