Tcl has features that are very powerful, but are really hard for a beginner, and really easy for a novice programmer to shoot themselves in the foot with.

Yet Tcl tends to be forced on undergraduate programmers, who probably just learn to loathe it. I lost several toes to it myself decades ago, and haven’t really felt inclined to pick it up again.
