While Croma is general-purpose, it was, as stated, designed with web programming in mind. Using an integrated web-server and interesting continuation-based techniques, Croma allows web-applications to be intuitively and naturally modelled in functional style. Programmers can ignore HTTP's statelessness; low-level details are automatically handled.
Web-applications written in Croma prove substantially shorter than in other languages, in terms of lines of code; a factor of 5 or more isn't uncommon. Savings of this magnitude lead to similar reductions in development time and project cost. The functional clarity of Croma programs, coupled with their brevity, make innovative new web-based applications possible, and their ongoing maintenance a more straightforward task.
Eh FORTRAN isn't that bad, it should be a little higher up. I personally don't use it, but I acknowledge it's a lot more powerful and flexible than friggin' VB and COBOL. Feckin hell

Charles Moore, Ville Mikael Turjanmaa, and anybody else who
writes complete operating systems with modern apps that fit on
a couple of floppies. Because smaller is better; because I
have to read the source.
The same could be better implemented with goto than a and apply the onmouseclick But please for the internets 1 Pirates rape steal and murder Downloading a film is not piracy.
