I'm a big fan too, it's my daily go-to and a great "glue" language for all sorts of tasks webapps, APIs, batch jobs etc, all admittedly web-related as that's my job too. I recently moved over lots of Adobe CF code into Lucee and really enjoy the more modern language elements not to mention the lack of expensive licenses.

I'm a web dev so I only use it for web apps but you can certainly use it beyond web applications.
