They may also not need to. They may have enough people working in a productive environment. If you add a Lisp feature to a large code base, it may not take a lot of time to do so, given the possibility of an incremental development style with Lisp (-> changing running applications incrementally).
This is really cool! Had not heard about them. Thanks!
Nice, so looks like low hundreds of developers may be possible given the right environment.
That said, I don't feel it disproves my impression. If the company is 37 years old, still privately held and still has less than a hundred developers then it is clearly not a company looking to grow fast above all else. So feels like a nurturing environment for Lisp.
