Although they may not have been cutting edge, they were pretty hot: Facebook was started in 2004, when PHP won the TIOBE 'Programming Language of the Year' award, and GitHub in 2008, two years after Ruby won it (although I'd say 2010 was the most popular year for Ruby on Rails).
(This year it looks like it'll go to Java though, so :P)
