It's a general purpouse language. Reusig an old comment, I used it for

* A bot to reply emails that uses IMAP, SMTP and web scrapping. (It's not 100% automatic. It replies only the easy cases and adds labels so I reply the tricky ones.)

* An program to cleanup Moodle backups that uses gzip and xml. I compiled it and send it to my coworkers. (The backups have too much info, so before restoring it in another site it's better to remove the unused parts.)
