The "Jak and Daxter" postmortem lists Naughty Dog's use of Lisp as the number five thing under "what went right" and the number one thing under "what went wrong

The "Jak and Daxter" postmortem lists Naughty Dog's use of Lisp as the number five thing under "what went right" and the number one thing under "what went wrong"... (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2985/postmortem_naughty_dogs_jak_and_.php?print=1 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/2985/postmortem_naught...) The rewrite wasn't a clear loss -- especially if, as the postmortem suggests, there was exactly one person who was capable of modifying the old codebase. (Likely this is the same person being quoted in Bill Clementson's article, which suggests some amount of ownership bias. Come to think of it, the same could be said of the ViaWeb case...)
