It's not for product development, AFAICT. It's a quick scripting / prototyping / scratch-your-itch environment. And for that purpose it looks quite good, resembling the most productive Lisp and Smalltalk environments, but with more easily separable single-file "projects".

It also looks like a great environment to teach programming past toy-level environments like MIT Scratch.
