The Common Lisp Directory finally crashed after 823 days

  That's sexy. :) Well, it pays to use good technology. Lisp and Debian are great. And Ada 2005 (yeah, now vote me down).

    I vote YOU (not Ada) up =) In russian language "yazyk Ada"(language Ada) sounds as "language of Hell" =)

  Ouch.. I guess Lisp is out as far as being able to scale is concerned.

    It was on a server in the guys basement along with some other issues that had to do with the os not Lisp itself.

    And how exactly do you figure that? A single process running for two years non stop is out fucking standing. Most frameworks just give the illusion of stability by continually recycling processes, often in time units of minutes or hours.

    I think it's called sarcasm people. I hope anyways.

  The biggest question I have is, could this have been done with SBCL, CLISP, or CMULisp? I'm guessing it could have.

  Hm, is it good news that the Common Lisp Directory is basically only an experiment?
