I am forced to use tcl a lot at work because that's what the ASIC tool vendors settled on for a scripting language. It's awful. Just plain awful. I avoid it as much as I can, but I'm forced to use it thanks to Synopsys.

The Synopsys extensions are a bear to work with but at least you can define procs which was impossible to do with their old scripting language where you had to simulate them with repeated includes.
