Well, FYI, I've used Prograph to tackle real world problems exactly twenty years ago. In those days I wrote a web application framework, comparable to PHP, but with advanced features like thread pooling, database connection pooling. Unlike PHP, the modules were compiled. This was all running on MacOS and Windows. Though this was cutting edge in those days, there was nothing academic to it as it was purely driven by business needs. Though I'm still actively developing server side web applications (now in Java) I consider that the best development experience I ever had.
