Darcs is the first one I heard of. Then I heard about Pugs <URL:http://www.pugscode.org/>. "useful" is a term with nuances; Pugs is "useful" to folks interested in experimenting with a working implementation of Perl6. These cases have impressed me; in both of them, an individual programmer was able to go from a desire to implement something non-trivial to a working implementation in a scary short length of time, the result worked well enough to attract other developers, and ongoing development proceeded with people joining surprisingly quickly. I'm gonna _have_ to take another swing at getting ghc to build on my Linux distro. One of these days. -Bennett
