in Python the plain list is used (well, these details could be quickly
seen by the link to sources above) - as I mentioned in TCL I decided to
try other structures only because I thought list implementation could be
not very effective internally, e.g. due to historical reasons...

Not necessarily, any language compiled to native codes will do
similarly. Moreover, there is optimized version of Python - and there is
JIT-version for Lua, while Java uses JIT anyway, so they results are
very close:

Java: 1.60
Pypy3: 7.31
LuaJit: 2.18

Perhaps someone may one day try to use JIT in TCL also (perhaps even
borrowing it from Lua may work)
