Does TCL has a purpose since Forth exists? Serious question.

TCL being stringly typed makes it dead on arrival for me, and I'm sure others feel the same.



Extremely widespread embedded support and cross platform. Forth seems dead to me, whereas TCL is huge and has good docs, a good standard library with batteries included, and it's easy to implement on embedded hardware because of how well documented it is. Also the inherent linkage to Python keeps it relevant.
