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. Roger
