The most unexpected news to me was that Hacker News, apparently, runs on top of SBCL now, via a secret implementation of Arc in Common Lisp!

Ya, when are we going to hear about "Clarc"? Where's the source?

[tmtvl]

I read that the source won't be made available because it contains some anti-spam (anti-abuse?) measures that would be easily circumvented if the source were open. Security through obscurity is famously no security at all, but I can see how it can reduce the noise that dang has to deal with a bit.

Anti-spam isn't security in that sense. Perfection is not required when dealing with irritation.
