I cannot speak about TCL.
I've used Python for several years. I like it. I started using Ruby
about a month ago. I like it too. I find that Ruby is more flexible than
Python, otherwise, I think they are very similar. Ruby's flexibility
causes it to be a bit more complex than Python, but IMO, that's OK. When
I want something very straight-forward and linear, I use Python. When I
want more flexibility, I use Ruby.
I have never had performance issues in either language. They both are
accused of being slow by fans of other languages, but I have never
personally experienced this.
I like that Python and Ruby run on many different platforms and that
both are free.
Use and enjoy them both :)
