Mzscheme is core dumping. We may have discovered some new bug. Rtm is investigating.

This seems to be a recurring theme with Lisp implementations. Reddit switched from CMUCL to Python (threading); Vendetta Online switched from SBCL to Erlang (GC/memory leaks). Other people have hit major snags e.g. with Haskell/GHC runtime bugs (Wager Labs; switched to Erlang). Use a massively complex runtime, hit bugs that can't be fixed (in a start-up timeframe, anyhow)?

Time to rewrite the site in Blub?

Paul Graham is so good, Arc is Blub for him. Paul Graham is so good, he does just simply walk into Mordor. And then he checks into a hotel.

Paul Graham's tears have been acquired by Google for an undisclosed sum.

Paul Graham is so good, good was defined as (+ Paul Graham good), and implemented with tail recursion.

Except that + takes two arguments, not three--unless you've altered the definition.
