I'd say the Tcl community has matured well, and considers Tcl a tool, acknowledging both its pros and cons - which is why no one there cares that you think Tcl

I'd say the Tcl community has matured well, and considers Tcl a tool, acknowledging both its pros and cons - which is why no one there cares that you think Tcl is dead/uncool/why_anybody_still_uses_it!!eleven!?. Also my feeling is that most complaints about it were voiced by people using some ancient versions without bothering much to look for idioms etc. For me Tcl/Tk was the easiest way to do a quick GUI program that was cross-platform, way long before Java was there.
