I believe it is suited only for small to low medium projects. Not supporting OOP is a big limiter on the scope of the projects it supports, both in size and time. Also its best features (deferred routines, partial returns) are cool on paper, exceptional for small stuff, but try to put them in a pull request on my codebase and I will nuke it. They have the same long term issues of gotos, maintaining any codebase that uses extensively these features will quickly become everybody's nightmare.

It's a nice scripting language, but if I have to invest time and resources I will go for Python - slower, but much more likely to survive, much more supported and infinitely more reusable in other fields.
