I think jabberd is a new one. So is the reservation/scheduling system made by ITS with Lisp. I bet more good stuff written in functional programming languages is coming. Raytracing has been around for years also and never really caught on. But now that CPU's are getting fast enough to do real-time raytracing that might be about to change. Same for functional programming, I'm betting.
