Hi Justin--

	Yeah! There are three:

-	to support live music programming in a way that an audience can 
follow. We use projectors so that the audience can see everything we do, 
as we do it. This is "livecoding" (once again I can plug 
http://toplap.org :).

-	to make "text adventures" easier to write, by be able to write them 
from the point of view of the "player-character"

-	to provide a "shell" alternative to the traditional Smalltalk workspace.

	Also see the "motivation and influences" section of the Quoth site.

	No, that sounds reasonable. :)
