Subject: Re: Ruby's Killer App - every language has one

SCons? Sadly, I've never heard of that project. I've
heard of Zope, so I always thought that was the
"killer app" for Python.

Based on my limited experience of people looking over
my shoulder and going "ooh, what's that? Where'd you
get it?" I'd have to say FreeRIDE. Be aware that my
audience consisted almost entirely of
beginner-to-intermediate programmers. Other folks
probably get different results depending on who they
are talking to :-)

Kind Regards,

Brian Wisti
