It was a great idea for a language. In practice though,it's hard to recommend. Great pet project for some mit professors to make a bunch of side money on top of their salaries though. Everyone else riding it is pretty much trying to niche their career rather then build something people can rely on unfortunately. It's the most unstable language I've ever used. In production I watched companies spend millions of dollars, not large companies, dealing with that aspect of it. The ecosystem surrounding it, though it's old enough, is also incredibly weak.
It's a shame. So hard to recommend it to anyone outside of an academic environment.
