I wrote in Common Lisp the star map generation software at the core of my startup, http://greaterskies.com, and could not be happier. But now that it's getting off the ground I wonder whether it may adversely impact my chances of being acquired. Are there any known examples of recent CL-based startups?
I don't know about being acquired but I believe there is a canadian travel-oriented startup using CL for an algorhythmically important part of their stack. I forget what it was called.
