I believe Hacker News’s backend is written on a Lisp (or, more precisely, Arc). In this context, JavaScript, Python and C are being debated for a role of client-side language handling DOM events.

Also, C and Lisp are different breeds. It’s wrong to put them in one bucket of “greybeard” languages. Some Lisps gained traction in the front end space (see ClojureScript).

Hacker News does have a bit of frontend, written in JavaScript. You can see some here https://news.ycombinator.com/hn.js, I'm unaware if it's everything or just a part.
