the title implies "the heavy lifting" is written in LISP.

Every node user knows the net lib nodejs uses isnt written in javascript.And most also know that in order for node to be useful,scripts should do as little as possible and delegate any serious operation to C/C++.

Woo uses fast-http[0], quri[1], and http-body[2], all written in pure Common Lisp and very, very fast.
