Just because *you* haven't come across it before doesn't mean
that the language hasn't gained significant traction in recent
years as an embedded language. It's in use in *many* commercial
and FOSS games, for instance; along with being used as an
internal scripting language for many other types of
applications. It can, of course, also be used as a standalone
scripting / tool language.
I would argue that there is indeed a large support audience
available, even if that audience is not here.
