Don't try writing device drivers in it. Don't expect to use it for
critical applications involving life-threatening situations; the
language changes too rapidly and you'll find it impossible to certify to
your insurers that it is correct. It's miserable for real-time control,
or very large-scale data handling that you want finished in an
reasonable time-frame. It's too big to run well on many embedded
controllers. It's too cryptic compared to COBOL, too verbose compared to
well-optimized perl, too slow compared to c.

I'm guessing that this doesn't answer your question, however, because it
sounds like you have something very specific in mind.
