Hell, not that discussion again.
Tcl is what I use every day, and it is installed with the base system on SuSE
boxes, so I don't feel bad using it.
And it is certainly not the worst choice.
You are free to add any script in any language and name it
'extern_maple_using_my_favourite_language' and call it with 'M-x math-extern
maple_using_my_favourite_language'. So the choice of Tcl for the "reference
implementation" is not limitation at all.

As long as you don't even know whether there are interpreters available I
don't think you are in good shape for such discussions...

I cannot reproduce this. Looks ok here.
