I thought a "small scheme-like Lisp" would be scheme :-)

(Looks like it has some nice thought put into concurrency, though)

Haha, good point. I should invest more time in better article titles.

One thing I wonder about is - how well does the http server stuff scale? I think using something like this to create a small and manageable RESTful service would be cool to look into. It could help spawn a larger professional market for functional development.

There's a benchmark comparison that the wasp lisp author did of the HTTP stuff:

NB. This is more of a Botnet construction kit than a standalone Lisp language. It was part of a distributed computation kit that, ummm, orchestrated disparate systems under the command and control of a single "admin".

You're thinking of the MOSREF library that comes with it (which is based on the Mosquito Lisp MOSREF stuff):

Not so much a 'botnet construction kit' - more of a penetration testing system.
