it's a language that's trivial to implement because it's well designed and simple, it embeds very nicely, and it's fantastic for use as a debug shell and to implement guis. it's a great technician's language, if you work with technically-minded people who aren't necessarily programmers, it's a great way to hand them deep interactive power without the footguns of a forth.
