I don't disagree that developing a nice business application would be good. However, in order to "push" the language with that kind of application, you'll need thousands of users. Imagine a website using EUPHORIA as a CGI. I'm pretty sure on fast hardware it could handle a few thousand posts per second/minute/whatever. The best way to push the language would be to develop a multi-player game that can be played via the internet. It doesn't have to be 3D graphics! That's not what my concern is. My main objective is to find out if it can handle the processing required to manage 10s or 100s of users at the same time, all doing something in "real time." THAT is how you find out if EUPHORIA is robust enough. P.S. Having said that, I would LOVE to have a EUPHORIA business management software package (especially with source) here at the office! > Anyone up to the challenge? P.P.S. You can mark me down as a willing participant for the moment.
