Author here, happy to answer any questions.
For this question: I've used Tcl for 20+ years for various things, database, web, monitoring, prototyping - basically anything you'd use any other scripting language, it just happens to fit me well (I also use Python for some things). Tcl is not without its warts, but positives far out weigh any negatives. Translation to C or Java is done primarily for performance, other use cases would be for IP protections.
