So Lua is the new Tcl. A lightweight scripting language designed to be embedded in other programs. Then I went and looked at http://tcl.tk http://tcl.tk and it appears the current maintainers of Tcl forgot why it exists as well. ;-) Everyone hated Tcl back in the day for similar reasons. Too lightweight, no serious language features, etc... Maybe we should just use Scheme.

Not to mention that Tcl also has an article about how it's been misunderstood, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4920831 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4920831 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31129936 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31129936 :-)
