Regarding Tcl/Tk applications, I don't know about Tk usage, but Tcl is 
heavily used in electronic design applications.  For better or worse, 
tools used for FPGA and ASIC design use Tcl scripts to drive the build 
process.  They may use Eclipse for the GUI, but underneath it's Tcl 
driving the compilation, mapping, and place and route of Verilog and 
VHDL code.
