They say hell hath no fury like a lisp fan scorned. I wonder if they hadn't been acquired, would they have still used Lisp ?

  This blog post refers to a rewrite that happened before the Condé Nast acquisition.

  We switched to python about 4 months into the startup and a full year before getting acquired.
