This would look to me most useful as a sort of C++ replacement, for systems programming. It has a nice big Standard Libary[1], and seems to have good tools for using compiled libaries, and generally interop with C++[2], which would be important if you wanted to use if for that. We have a large C++ codebase, and I'd sometimes like to use a higher level language like this to knit it together. But I'm not convinced this is better than the alternatives.
