The fact that I learned Tcl because of Vivado is probably why I don't like it. I'll probably never like it, but I can at least admit it has some nice features that make sense for an embedded scripting language. But I've never seen anything more vile[0] than Cadence's "Ocean" scripting language[1]. It has such contempt for the user. For example, when learning you might notice command( is ok but command ( is a syntax error. You then might conclude that the language is trying to be strict and help you write correct programs. But then you realize that "] is magic syntax which closes all previous strings, and it just gets worse from there.
