@Jakub, pulling it an extra interpreter in a stable update is probably not something we want to do so we are going to either fix the issue in the C code or let <= focal versions have issues in some cases. I do agree that starting doing changes to the logic might be something we want to avoid, there is probably an easier way to restore the previous behaviour but in a way that avoid the segfault right?

Also not that Jim is currently in Universe and not something Canonical has commited to maintain, which is why we are using tcl (which is in Ubuntu main)

@Josua, the problem there isn't the language or startup performance but having to maintain one extra language/interpreter for us (Canonical/Ubuntu), it means we have to keep someone on team familiar with tcl and to commit to fix any security problem find in the tclsh (or jimtcl if we decide to promote this one) which is adding maintenance load of a small team already having lot to do
