Frankly, I would challenge the "killer app" criteria as any sort of major contributor to the popularity of a language. Just take a look at RoR - it made a splash a while ago, yes, but apart from attracting attention and putting a relatively obscure language like Ruby on the radar, it did almost nothing for general Ruby adoption. (if anything it was Ruby's own language features that captured the imagination of people who used it in any significant ) On the other hand - what are the big "killer apps" for C#, Java, PHP, Python or even Perl, if you will... ?
