btw, I, too, couldn't find traces of the lisp side of this project after a 15 minute search. I was curious about the fix times and lisp codebase size

Thanks! Right, so the successful version was the one written in Lisp. Okay, that's actually understandable. At that time, managed languages were not widely used, and C is really not a good choice for that kind of project. If those are the two options, I can certainly see how Lisp would do better.
