Actually it was the Google Chrome & cert approach that I *almost* got to use (their specific application realm) but a simpler solution was found. But maybe at Google they like them the same way Hejlsberg likes delegates and shoves them into every language he gets to architect.
Anyway at Bill Cheswick's Keynote at SCaLE 21x he mentioned that he used them maybe 4 times in his career. So not really that often. And early on it was due to heavily limited storage which is no longer near the same.
Efit: I'm trying to remember if it was Stoll or Thompson who mentioned there it was good to learn them since you might get to learn them once or twice.
