BigIP iRules in F5 network appliances (and A10 appliances)[0], orchestration in Argonne National Labs super computer[1], Tealeaf[2], Python Tkinter[3] …
I use it day to day because it’s got a great balance of Lispyness and simple scriptyness, and a great C interface. It’s got a fine REPL, and can be built up (by writing in C) with extensions that are 100% first-class canonical Tcl, in good part (wholly?) because Tcl is such a simple language[4], and homoiconic[5]. A joy to develop in and use.
