	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.
