If lack of libraries was the reason for the switch, why not Clojure?

Clojure dates from 2007 according to wikipedia, and reddit did the switch way before that (this post was in 2005.)

Makes me feel positively ancient.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks!

propose to ycombinator a site in lisp

get initial funding and fanfare

switch it to a more stable and easy to maintain language
