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)?

Reddit switched from CMUCL to Python (threading) Source? With the bashing Python is getting because of the GIL, it surprises me that someone would switch to Python from elsewhere for any reasons related to threading.

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.
