During the dot-com boom (late 1990s through early 2000s) there was this company called Vignette which was using Tcl on the server for e-commerce, IIRC. They had a product in Tcl, which could be customized for various e-commerce apps, I think. Probably the USP was RAD, Tcl being a scripting language.

Also I read about AOL using AOLServer which was written in Tcl.
