Odin is a general purpose language, in the same way C.

Professionally, we use Odin to create all of our software at JangaFX: EmberGen, LiquiGen, and GeoGen.

Many people have been using Odin for similar purposes:

* game development

* application development

* 3D graphics

* physics related stuff

* etc

This is what a lot of people feel Odin's "niche" is, even if it is not restricted to that. A good example of this is Odin's first class features for array-programming, swizzling, matrices, quaternions, and many other things useful when dealing with 3D related things (graphics, physics, games, etc).
