Well, it seems evident that you are missing the point. (Actually quite a
number
of points ...)

* The 'official' scripting language will be JavaScript (for instance Sun
(!) is endorsing
   it), but the success of this is unclear. It is tacked on the Java
craze which gives it
   a lot of free promotion.
* JavaScript will take quite a bit of Python's market share both being
objectified, but
   Python will remain a tool of choice for quick *algorithmic*
programming.
* Tcl/Tk will remain the lovable muddle they are - glue code, sloppy
syntax and a
   number of things.
* Of course someone will tack CORBA onto Tcl - there surely are several
works in
   prograss, and from what I saw reading ILU code it may even be elegant
because
   one can skip the translations from marshalled values to actual method
parameters
   and deal directly with such representation as tcl8.0 objects in both
string and internal
   forms.

Tcl/Tk will remain tools of choice for almost everything - personal
choice. I have the
impression that most Tcl/Tk users became such after searching for a
handy, stable tool
available anywhere and fondly remember the agony of choosing between
Python and
tickle which was resolved by a 2x speed increase in 8.0
