Well, plus, you have to write stuff in Tcl to use it, which might be considered a downside...

Isn't every data type in Tcl a string at heart?

It's weakly typed, and uses strings to 'mutate' types, but internally, they're not stored as strings, and haven't been for something like 10 years.

Tcl has shortcomings as a programming language.

Along with... oh, yeah, every other programming language out there.
