I think Yahoo rewrote Viaweb in C++. The only thing that's still remotely Lispy about it is that they kept RTML.

  That's pretty Lispy, because RTML is stored on disk as s-expressions. So rewriting Viaweb in C++ literally meant writing a Lisp interpreter.

    Wow, someone should give Yahoo an award for "Most literal application of Greenspun's Tenth Rule."
