why does it need to be a killer app ?
i have hacked up a specialized http proxy server in lua; it's fast enough 
for the purpose, and it's infinitely faster to modify than the equivalent 
c/c++ program. it's not a killer app, and will probably be re-implemented as 
part of a web server, but it was (relatively) quick to develop, it's 
multiplexed and error-trapped using coroutines.... and when a server dishes 
up something it can't understand, i can patch it there and then.
