I've yet to see one, which doesn't come to say that they don't exist (you
named a couple) - but does come to say that Perl did not succeed at
becoming a serious contended in the GUI market.
As I told Manuel, the issue isn't *time*, but *timing*. If PHP's goal was
to become a serious contended in the GUI app market (which it was not) - it
long missed this opportunity. GUI applications of PHP are cool, can be
very useful, especially to people who already know PHP. However, assuming
that it would ever catch a significant share of the GUI market is naive, IMHO.
