Many years ago, I worked at a company that used Tcl as the scripting language for its primary product. At one point, a hotshot product manager started agitating to replace it with something more modern. He claimed that Tcl was dying because (wait for it) there were no books being published about it at the time. I guess he was wrong ... :-)

Well - Tcl is dying though. So he was not entirely wrong.

One can not even find it on TIOBE but one can find COBOL there:

(TIOBE is horrible, but still.)
