Non perl coders at work (Score:2)

by Dom2 (2981)

Given that the Yahoo Store was originally written by lisp-heads [paulgraham.com], I'm not entirely surprised that they weren't 100% perl happy.
Nonethless, an organisation the size of yahoo should be able to get that fixed.

  The backbone of Yahoo stores still runs Common Lisp... Recently there has been some fuss about Yahoo wanting to rewrite it in C++ because its programmers didn't know Lisp, but later gave up the idea. Don't know where things stand now.
