A 'standard' scripting language inside openocd is a good idea IMHO.

I'd tend to stick within the top twenty languages (tcl=38, lua=19, javascript=9)

(you can argue over the particular metric - but mainstream support for a 
language is something which is useful and I think you really do want something 
simple to embed into openocd)

If I was looking for a language to embed my first choice would be to look to 
lua 
rather than tcl. My choices would have been somewhat different 8 years ago.

Javascript is also handy to add into the list but somewhat more complicated to 
embed in projects (depending on which implementation you select).

Lua happens to have a pretty vibrant community working around it.
