reddit redone in Python › Steve Jenson's blog

Reddit has been rewritten from Common Lisp to Python. Sadly, Common Lisp is stuck in 1994 unless you are willing to tie yourself to one specific implementation and bet the farm on it. And the probability that the tools you need will work on that specific implementation? It's a random walk, unfortunately.
