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

And some people still haven't forgiven you.

I can remember this switch back in the day, but for some reason my memory has failed me. I could have sworn the original was in Haskell, not Lisp.

Selective memory I guess.

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

Great post on that when Steve made the switch. http://www.redditblog.com/2005/12/on-lisp.html
