IIRC, HN is a fork of early reddit, correct? I am curious how different the features and design were around the time of the fork.

    > Over at reddit.com, we rewrote the site from Lisp to Python in the past week. http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rewritingreddit http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/rewritingreddit (2005) That's a fun read. Hats off for Aaron.
