FYI, TCL is still the standard scripting language in VLSI EDA tools, when
an embedded language is needed:

Synopsys use it for Design Compiler and probably other Physical Synthesis
tools and maybe even DVE (their front end GUI for design verification)
Magma (now part of synopsys)
IBM Booledozer (part of their ASIC toolset)
Modelsim simulation tools
Mentor Graphics
Cadence

In fact, it's hard to find an EDA tool vendor NOT embedding a TCL
interpreter in his toolset.
