I'm pretty sure Ousterhout intended for people to write a few deep modules in C and only use Tcl to glue everything together/provide extensibility.

(we did exactly this for networking code about 30 years ago: C for the data plane and Tcl for the control plane. That architecture remained in service for decades.)
