To put it simply, the reason is that a lot of our system's code is
already written in TCl, and I prefer to write scheme.

Axiom - more people using STk is a benefit.
Theorem - more people would use STk if they could incorporate
          existing TCL code in their application.
Proof - At least one person in our group has said he would
        use STk under these conditions. N+1 > N. Q.E.D.
