Right, their success was not purely about the language, I'm just saying it helped (rather, he said it helped). This is drawn from my recollection of reading an article pg wrote. I could find the article if anyone is interested (it is an article about how great lisp is, not specifically the history of ViaWeb, I think).

I believe people should use whatever they feel they can get the job done with, even if it's BASIC (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2257866 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2257866), because focusing on a language more than what it is you're actually trying to accomplish IMO is missing the point.
