I am curious what you think will be the "sweet spot" for Prothon
applications.  For example it is sys admin for Perl, web stuff
and databases for PHP, easy embedding into C programs such as
games for Lua, custom "enterprise" software for Java etc

In a shorter question, what do you hope/expect the first killer
application written in Prothon to do?

IMHO current languages are very weak on GUIs and dealing with
HTML/XML.  They feel a lot like tedious assembly style programming
where you had to tell the machine what to do in minute detail.
