I don't mean to get into a fight ;) , but an interesting application of
Java is at
<http://www.merckeurolab.de/app/GenericPage?page=/search/molecular.jsp>.
Basically, it's a molecular search engine; you drag atoms onto it to make
molecules, and it will then search the catalog for chemicals containing
that molecular sequence. Trivial? Possibly. Interesting? Definitely.
(Apologies for not having a link in English; this is one of my employer's
clients (although we didn't write this particular application).)
