Nowadays I use Clojure as my primary general purpose programming language.
As far as sweet spots go, due to pervasive immutability, I think it can be a good choice anytime you're dealing with concurrency.
If you're dealing with relatively straightforward web applications, outside certain specialized scenarios (and certain really bad choices) I don't think language choice matters.
