Both were invented by John Ousterhout. Tcl is nice as it allows you to make short and unwordy programs. Java is verbose. Python is verbose. Tcl is just right. The set and puts commands are just a joy to use. Tk makes writing GUI code actually bearable and the brevity of its syntax precludes the need for IntelliSense.
