I liked that the recent thread of implementing a webserver in povray SDL got
mentioned! :)

In the end, when David and Chris were off, they were actually talking about
trying to get such a cool tool in the hands of students.  In fact, I've
wondered about it for long as well:  why not expose math students to povray
rather than boring plotters or Fortran?  The SDL offers better constructs than
Fortran as a first programming language and the renderer is obviously far
better than most algebraic plotters.  It's very enticing to learn math and
geometry that way...
