Hmm... You're not going to talk about Haskell Quake then?

Hardly "killer" (unless you'll pardon the pun), but at least a little 
more exciting...



One could legitimately level the claim that only real large-scale 
programs written in functional languages so far have been... compilers 
for more functional languages.

Still, I gather that Xilinix's current toolchain for FPGAs is based on 
Haskell technology. A few other blue-chip peeps are using it. Again, not 
really "killer" - for that, you must look to Erlang. *sigh*
