I needed to learn Tcl out of necessity because it's used as a configuration language for a tool (Cadence Xcelium simulator) at work. It's also very popular in general in the [EDA](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_design_automation) industry.


I put off learning this language for a long time as I was used to alternative ways of doing things (which I now see are much inferior and less efficient than to do using Tcl). But I believe that my timing to take up learning Tcl was just perfect -- Now I am really familiar with Emacs-Lisp, and as I followed the Tk/Tcl tutorial I could correlate a lot of language concepts between lisps and Tcl.

Yes, I wouldn't recommend learning Tcl just as a hobby language (as I would recommend learning [Nim](https://scripter.co/notes/nim/)).
