What is the next killer app for Ruby?

You know Ruby on Rails, right? But do you know that Ruby is so much more than a web development language?
Some of the recent Ruby popularity can certainly be contributed to the Ruby on Rails framework, but what now – what is the next thing in the Ruby Community? At JAOO Aarhus 2007 we asked Chad Fowler, Marcel Molina and Glenn Vanderburg that question and more. Chad Fowler talked about his candidate for the next killer app for Ruby; Adhearsion. Adhearsion is a Ruby framework written in Ruby and building on Asterisk and as such it helps the programmer to build VOIP applications fast.
You can see what Chad said in this video as well as a discussion of what is happening in the Ruby world right now:

I hear that Jay Phillips did a great job with Adhearsion and I look forward to seeing what the future brings. Maybe Adhearsion is the next great thing – maybe it will be something completely different.

“A Rails like framework for GUIs; that’s my prediction.”
That would be Shoes, it already exists and it’s the best GUI framework for ruby application clients and such out there. It’s extendable to double as web GUIs, they translate 1:1 if you want.
