I've been a Tcl programmer since 1997, and still use it, although I'm not employed as a computer programmer any more. (I wish I was, but that's not the way the world has worked.) If you've got come questions about Tcl specifically, I'd be happy to answer them (or try to answer them). I still use it to develop scripts to manage different pools of information that I have.
