We are using lisp software to connect to Abacus air reservation systems and processing of the data and for all the search logic. The good news is our inhouse software is more than 10x faster than the Java solution purchased from a large software house here and 100x more stable.
I'd just like to echo this, actually; I'm completely amazed at the speed of applications, especially non-db-backed applications, written in tbnl. It's a great library.
I agree. Edi sometimes likes to say he is more interested in correctness than speed, which is good, but I find this a bit amusing at the same time. The predominant feature of CL/TBNL when I was coming from Java was its shear speed -- I still remember clearly my complete disbelief and confusion almost. The stability side comes in later, in my case about a year later, when I realised that a webapp that I had written was still running happily with a bunch of regular users. Of course, I was also a bit startled that I had forgotten about the thing.
Nice work Edi.
Cheers, Bob
