If someone else you work with is pushing in python's direction, he or she
may have a different perspective on the role these languages play. You
see Tcl as a tool for quick and dirty prototypes, others may see Python
as a tool for serious finished applications. Without the perfect
specification, you don't know if you have the perfect tool. It's a
mistake to see Python and Tcl as comparable just because either can be
embedded in a C program.
