The article mentioned is VERY out of date wrt Tcl. This is probably
because the author is not keeping up to date with the developments in
Tcl because he has already chosen Python.

I would recommend that you go to the home pages of all of the languages
that you are interested in to get the pro-language biased stuff and then
try and make the decision for yourself about which language is best for
you.

BTW I cannot see the original document so I do not know the context of
the subject but Tcl is most certainly not broken.
