TCL is probably the only major scripting language that has rock solid thread and concurrency (events, too) support.

As a matter of opinion, the embedding api is cleaner than most alternatives.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how "major" it's can be considered these days. Perl struggles with maintaining that title (if it hasn't already lost it for the majority of people), and my impression has always been that Perl is quite a bit more popular than TCL. That impression could be quite off though, as programming language usage measurements are always rife with controversy.
