It is even better. They also have code guidelines. Easing the choosing of technologies (open source!) and configuration.

Less opportunities for that crazy developer who wants to implement your costumer facing site in Common Lisp.

Somewhere, an LM-2 who has been faithfully serving requests since 1981 just cried a single, perfectly simulated electronic tear.

Surely this very system (HN) shed a tear somewhere between brackets as well.

I think it is more about a general lack of trust; I think (my opinion) that neves was talking about choosing a technology for religion vs for pratical reasons.

Please tell me this is sarcasm! It's hard to tell. If it isn't, then all I have to say is that hacker news is written in the lisp dialect arc of Paul Graham, who got rich off of a customer facing site written in common lisp...
