What! Has tcl improved so much recently? I have to give 8.0 a try...
;-)
More seriously:
I'd add
cons: the interpreter bloats fvwm considerably.
This applies to all other proposed interpreters. Tcl seems the least bad.
But there _are_ some lean implementations for some languages, such as Forth
(several), Scheme (Elk?), Slang?
It does not have to be _best_ language, just a good enough compromise between
features and size...
