Tcl is the defacto standard embedded command language for electronic design automation (EDA) and computer-aided design (CAD) applications. All the EDA tool flows from Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics use Tcl as the primary scripting interface for their flows. TCL as a single command language in all EDA tool flows ensures that a designer only needs to learn Tcl in order to work with all the flows.
Tcl scripting is much sought after skillset for every VLSI engineer.
