General purpose for anything that is long-running. I mean more than a few seconds.
In my case, we use it to power web api, backend systems, databases, IOT devices. Anything that is not a "cli" thing basically. It is not the best for desktop GUI app because it lacks a deep framework for that, but it works well with it if you can make past that hump.
It is not good at:
- smartphone app. That is mostly due to the walled garden that these devices are
- CLI tools
- Systems engineering
- on the fly scripting
- That basically is it
