Wow, there's a blast from the past. A friend of mine (Jesse Liley) built a cool device-mounting-thingy called MUT in Tcl a few years ago, for the Puppy Linux distro.
I've code algorithms for spellcheckers and text summarizers in Tcl. I've been using it for proof-of-concept data science/AI/machine learning stuff for years.
I'm working on static site generator written in Tcl that is nearing its 1.0 release. It aims to be featureful but self-contained and have reasonable defaults to allow you to quickly start working on a new website. You can find it at https://github.com/tclssg/tclssg.
I just created a tool to walk a wsdl definition to create a single contained xsd file for distribution to users of the wsdl.
With Tcl the tool was done in a couple of hours.
Recently I looked for a "TCLscript" targeting Javascript but I didn't find anything (under development at least).
The only strong players that I recognise in this market are Coffeescript, Typescript and Clojurescript. Probably there would be a market for "TCLscript" also.
Not since '97, but in '97 I was building internal apps for my company and turning out cross-platform graphical applications (Solaris, Windows) faster than seemed possible.

Check out `http://wiki.tcl.tk/' (which has lot's of good information).
Also learn some Tcl by reading the redis test suite here,
`https://github.com/antirez/redis/tree/unstable/tests'.
I've also written an Awk-like tool in Tcl that speaks SQL and has table joins - https://github.com/dbohdan/sqawk.
Edit: Also http://caiusproject.com/ looks very interesting.

And most interesting to me, naturally, as the author :-) http://wits.magicsplat.com/screenshot.html

We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in coding for Naviserver and have HTML/CSS/JS skills. We're working to launch www.rubylux.com now.
Tcl/Tk was of course, my secret weapon.
