To me, being useful in day to day life isn't an issue, because I know
that's true.  If others think that's a problem though, then I think
that's another argument to build a web app.

Not only would it be practical, but it definitely would have the
opportunity to use advanced fp techniques like parallelism,
memoization, continuations, etc.
