None of them has a large company behind it, and none of them is within two orders-of-magnitude from the leading batch of languages (the leading pack has 5-10M developers each).
So? I'm not making a claim that a language needs adoption on that scale to be considered "successful". To me, Ruby, PHP, Python, Groovy, Scala, Clojure, etc. are all very much "successful". The languages I think of as being less so, would be things like Nice, Fantom, Frege, Forth, Modula-3, Rebol, etc.
