So I learned Lisp long before either Tcl or a "pop infix" language. Common Lisp has it all, and then some.
I learned Python and Tcl at roughly the same time. It looks to me like Python and Tcl got in a big tug-o'-war fight over Lisp's features, and the rope broke and each got half.
Python ended up with the data structures, but not the syntax. Tcl ended up with the syntax, but not the data structures. And advocates on both sides scream "how can you do anything without #{feature_x}?".
And I say "ah, Lisp has both!", and everybody gets together and says "oh, shut up, you".
