I looked at it before - it seemed nice, but ... in those 13 years since the release, Lua has amassed the critical support to take over the world (LuaJIT2, FFI, stuff like Terra, MoonScript, Lua-in-JS, ...).
Lua and Squirrel being so close, it makes little practical sense to use Squirrel in a new project. Maybe for fun projects.
(And for something that's a little different, I recommend a look at https://github.com/aardappel/lobster https://github.com/aardappel/lobster - it's a breath of fresh air among scripting languages; practically, I still recommend Lua over anything else)
