> "Slow" and "internet" don't go well together in a sentence. Can you imagine taking this "slow" approach as a startup? You'd be left behind in a jiffy! I guess a not-for-profit mentality shields you from obsolescence. That and the NSA has saved OpenBSD big time.

Yes, I could imagine it. Your revolutionary idea can be implemented with slow, steady technology. I hear tell that a couple of guys even used an old language like Lisp to implement a startup. Might even be cool to implement boring techniques for storing passwords.

Confusing revolutionary business objectives with revolutionary technology is probably a red flag.

Just to specify this, reddit for example started out in Lisp and moved to Python, eventually: http://www.redditblog.com/2005/12/on-lisp.html

I was thinking of the founder of this message board, but reddit works too.
