We used it as the command and control language for these: https://www.icare-world.com/us/product/icare-eidon/
* Semi-embedded system that's used as an appliance, not a computer.
* Runs in an environment where people mostly don't want to mess with it. Might be days between reboots; might get turned off every night.
* Has to be pretty deterministic in terms of memory usage, response times, and so on.
* Recovers from something going wrong by going to a known-good state.
We didn't actually use any of the distributed aspects of it, but it worked out great for the other stuff.
