Yes i'll agree to that if you also agree that Python and Perl are the
same.  Then i "maybe" your "suggestion" holds water, maybe. But you
forgot to comment on the other big point which is... What language
would you rather spend your time learning if you only had C and Tcl to
choose from? If you answer Tcl you are either foolish or just trying
to win the argument by playing devils advocate, and in that case
you're even more foolish!

The moral is that C and Python are far more useful to any programmer
than Tcl will ever be -- whether you consider them together or apart
does not matter. Tcl is too limited whereas Python and especially C
are far more useful in various situations.
