Aha... *lisp, you mean?

This one seems to me particularily interesting, among other things
because it is actually in use. If I understand it correctly, these
folks (at google) are using one absolutely monstruous cluster of
comodity boxes with this.

Also, AFAICT, this is very close to the example given in the NetCLOS
paper (longer version).

Oh, you are welcome. :-)

This is all very interesting for me.
