Tcl has this interesting property. It's closer to Lisp in spirit and shell in syntax, but it also looks superficially like C, being actually nothing like it. People who try to program in it as if it were C usually fail and start hating it, whereas people who understand its essence start liking it. Unfortunately, people often encounter Tcl in situations where there's nobody to explain it to them, so they learn it the wrong way.
