- Uchikoma 16y agoITA, wasn't it the company that got a Lisp project cancelled from Air Canada because the project was going nowhere after 4 years?

Especially since ITA is still working on RES. Which is only "1/3" Common Lisp (web based front end is Java centric, back end is Oracle RAC, stateless middleware is mostly but not entirely Lisp).
