I got exposed to TCL/TK while working for a National Lab a long time ago. At the time I was a hardcore C++ developer and after a week or two with TCL/Tk I was almost dying laughing about how easy it was to build really cool applications. I truly miss working with that platform.

Argonne National leaned heavily on Tcl relatively recently for a petascale super-computer project of theirs[0] (I was introduced to it by Justin Wozniak of Argonne at a Tcl conference in Manassas).
