Async to the core in the 90s?
Extremely expressive, rivaling Smalltalk?
Small, understandable core with simple semantics?
Teachable to newbies in hours rather than weeks?
Yup, definitely deserves it. /s

When I first came across TCL after years of writing C++, I couldn't believe how much lighter the mental load was (I hadn't even noticed it until then).
Anyways, I was looking at Dart a while back, and sat down in my editor and started working and quickly realized that I hold the entire program in my head but had to keep checking a cheat sheet for syntax. There's definitely something to be said for languages or tools that can alleviate that blockage.
I guess it's the level of abstraction more than anything. TCL is really neat and being that the syntax IS the code, like Lisp, there's really no difference between how a solution works in your head and how it has to be written in the editor.
So yeah. TCL's pretty dope.
