This is FUD. You may not like Tcl, but please stick to the facts. Tcl is quite backwards compatible, supports binary packages through several versions without recompiling, and has zillions of packages for it.

Tcl's big problem is that it is no longer cool, and so people like to rag on it. Not that it doesn't have defects, but they aren't the ones you listed, - you appear to just be repeating something you read second hand.
