@mcc dicts are a relatively recent addition, arrays were in Tcl from early on. A dict is a single value, which can be assigned to a variable, passed around etc.. An array is more like a collection of variables.
I tried to capture what's distinctive about Tcl in a blog post a while back - colin-macleod.blogspot.com/202

A pauta sobre easter eggs da #SegundaFicha cobre apenas jogos? Como um usuário #Linux da velha guarda, gostaria de resgatar o easter egg das antigas versões do Red Hat (incluindo o #Conectiva Red Hat Linux), que exibiam um chapéu giratório se uma determinada região do `timetool` (aplicativo para ajuste de data e hora) era clicada. Não achei captura de tela, então, precisei eu mesmo fazer uma (emulador PCem, distribuição Conectiva Red Hat Linux Marumbi).

Tcl/Tk 9.0 Release Announcement - tcl-lang.org/software/tcltk/9.
The first major release in 27 years. 64-bit internal structures, so data can be huge. Full unicode with all the funky new emojis. Zip filesystems, etc., etc.

There's lots of new stuff, and some old cruft has been dumped, so some programs may need a few updates, but there's still a high level of compatibility. The page above links to release notes with details of what's in and what's out.

@TyrionTargaryen I'm going to claim that Tcl/Tk makes GUIs pretty easy, although some code is required. As an example I offer a quick&dirty program I knocked up to administer the user db (a single table in Sqlite) for my web site. The first picture is the screen, the second is the full program, 114 lines. I have also put the code at cmacleod.me.uk/tcl/sample/user (I changed the salt used for the md5 encryption though). More info at tcl-lang.org/ .
