This is I think the hard question. A draw of the current shell is that it it looks and acts like bash/sh/etc, for at least basic operations. That's something that's comfortable to a large audience. That has disadvantages when people want to start doing something complex. Sean has shown that several times and he's not the only one. LIL being tcl'ish is not.
Tcl is a horror of a language for anything that is above trivial level.
Can you please elaborate on this? You've made this claim several times, but haven't explained your reasoning for it.
