Messaging, that is communication, is its strong point. It really rocks
there. It does good at other things as well. I have found it good for
reporting from text files too. Its a good versatile language.
I am using it to integrate computer systems such as ordering, inventory,
time accounting to Palm devices. It runs on the server end handling
synchronization process. At home I use it to test artificial
intelligence programs.
Its good stuff, and I am just refering to /Core. There is more to come
soon.
