I don't think it is necessarily a killer app, but rewriting
the java game clients used by Lycos/Playsite would be a
excellent demonstration.
At times there are over 2000 players on line, and the
current java applet sucks big time - with frequent windows
lock ups, crashes, disconnections etc. And I think it only
works
with IE on Windows.
But whether Rebol or Rebol/express is up to the job - I'm
not sure it scales up to that many users ...
