It combines the obtuseness of lisp with the execution speed of Javascript. Might I humbly suggest Python. :-) Python is much cleaner than Tcl/Tk. You can even use Tcl/Tk from Python without having to write any Tcl code. Or, you could use PyGTK or PyGNOME and have a nicer looking interface. :-) It's also nearly as fast to develop in as Tcl/TK. It has a command line interpreter and a very regular set of rules.
