It looks like an interesting programming language (and the support for multiprocessing looks exciting). However I haven't heard of it used in any large projects that I'm aware of. Some of the packages that would be useful for the projects I might want to work on are years of date, although that could just be selection bias. (But, gtk bindings? Am I missing something?)

Is it more of a research language as opposed to a "making applications" developer language? Can someone provide a little background?
