Much depends upon the application, so there will be a niche for carbonatium, but cost won't be the main thing keeping it exotic. It does not solve the energy intensity of carbon manufacture, nor lend itself to efficient recycling. I'd like to write volumes on the topic, but J.E. Gordon has already done so, in some of the most readable, pleasant english ever written. If you only have time for one book by him, I'd start with "Structures."
