I've used it for years and love it. Came from a C, C++, Java, Ruby (on Rails), and Delphi background. I'd describe it as a love child of Ruby and Java that turned out great. It offers great flexibility, which means you can definitely shoot yourself in the foot, and some libs have definitely done that, but I prefer to restrict myself rather than have the language force me.
We've created several in house DSLs and used them to great effect.
Compiler is slow, though it has gotten better over the years.
Very much looking forward to DOT (next gen of compiler and language, union types will be awesome).
Use it on four production websites, about to transition a Ruby on Rails site to it soon.
