Same. I learned TCL back when I was a full-time FPGA engineer (it's the standard scripting language for most FPGA toolchains for whatever reason), and I actually really liked it. TCL is a weird little language, and has a lot of beauty in its own way. It's hyper-flexible almost like a Lisp, and looks like some kind of Bash/C hybrid. Or maybe Python with an "everything is a string" implementation. I wish it was more popular industry-wide, because the interpreter is small and the language is feature rich. If I could convince anybody else at my company, we'd ship more TCL and less shell scripts in our products.
