This was my reason for foraying into Tcl too. Till then I had used Java's AWT and Swing; but prototyping with Tcl/Tk was way faster and intuitive. Mid-2000s. I ended up liking the language - idiosyncratic as it was. Partly the reason I am curious about and planning to read Ousterhout's (creator of Tcl) book "A Philosophy of software Design" soon.
