"Possible" is not good enough.
I think the rest comes when you have the best feature set for a
particular domain and a polished compiler/runtime. So yeah,
maybe Game clients is the best bet, since you don't have to
change the semantics too much (low latency GC and linear typing
would take time to work in) and games benefits from C++/iOS
interop. Indie games have low adoption threshold and could work
as marketing.
The Gaming industry is quiet a path to go on. Expecially since no
language actually focus on that area.
For now, I see some new projects making good moves to writing
gaming tools (I dislike bindings to C++).
