I would love some examples too.  I haven't really looked for any yet, though.

I think that I might use one these:

tcl/tk
PHP/Javascript/DOM
Java

I know PHP already so that might be the easiest.  But I have been looking for an excuse to learn another language so I might choose Java or tcl/tk.

What's everyone's opinion on compiled vs interpreted languages?  Would it make that big of a difference?

Thanks,
