I got into it a couple years ago pretty heavily just for kicks and found that it was actually a pretty fun language if you're doing lots of math, especially matrices. I wish people would use it more for libraries, but I would be lying if I said you couldn't write something just as fast in C or C++ with a little bit more work. That being said, its actually a great language for people who just want to spit out some number crunching code.
