Game programming
What a nice online risk game here. It has an active user community and many of them are having loads of fun. The guy who developed it is even making some money with it. A hackers' dream. From what I can see he uses a lot of HTML tables and he uses the *size* of the Courier font to get those numbers for armies on the right spot on the map. That could be improved upon. CSS and/or SVG is maybe better? And it is probably generated with PHP. That could also be improved upon. How about my favorite language Python.

I think every programming language could benefit from examples like that, to become more popular.
