Right. It's almost impossible to reason about a language that has no meaningful grammar. Finding bugs is hard, automatically finding problems nearly impossible.
Tcl did give us one important thing -- Tk -- via `wish`, which was an important step in informing how people might want to add GUIs to scripts.
But actually still committing to teach it in this day and age is really perpetuating bad habits when there are better options out there -- even PowerShell is a better choice.
