If you're considering TCL, the Jim implementation might also be worth a look. It has most of the features of the core language, some extensions to enable even more and a very small footprint. If I recall correctly, it's even faster for some things and does lambdas etc. a bit better.

The bad thing about Tcl is probably its library support. It has an extension mechanism, but for a lot of "contemporary" projects (web etc.), you're actually more likely to find working Lua "Rocks" than tcl modules.

Interesting, thank you. I will take a look.
