Common Lisp in the White House

Though having voted for Billy-boy twice (and, believe me, I feel my pain), I'm pretty much disgusted with Clinton. But the one place the White House has got Nader beat (for the moment) is in the area of web tech.

The White House Electronic Publications server runs on CL-HTTP, the Common Lisp Hypermedia Server. CL-HTTP runs on just about every extant Common Lisp implementation and is quite the neat bit of programming. Check out Untangle for another sample.

(The White House publication site is really pretty nifty. I was pleasantly, if surprisedly, impressed.)
