Lisp in the wild

irgendwer hatte in einem thread zu p1 gefragt ob prolog/scheme wo/ob scheme denn in der wirtschaft eingestzt wird. (Mit Store ist der Yahoo! Store gemeint)

"Store is still written in Lisp. The last I heard they were planning to rewrite it in C++, so that the people now in charge of it could read the source. However, since part of the functionality of the Store Editor is to take s-expressions created by users at runtime and compile them into code that generates pages, they will literally have to write a Lisp interpreter to do it. I expect they are finding this an obstacle. If they managed to do this (without realizing that they're implementing their own Lisp) it would be a new world's record case of Greenspun's tenth rule."

Greenspun's tenth rule, BTW, is ""Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp."

Was sind s-expressions?
Sehr interessant, der Zusammenhang und Greenspun's tenth rule :-)

Hm, die kamen wohl nicht mit lisp zurecht:
I should mention that they actually have just done this. A rewritten version (C++ and Perl) just launched in Jan.
