Keep in mind it's still pretty new - the latest external package is the first to include a language reference, for example. There are people using it outside of IBM, although we don't keep any formal track. Most of the ones I know of are at the prototype/playing around/investigating stage, but some are doing fullscale production work. It's gone through a lot of development over the past few years.
