If it's an April fool, it's a good one! If not, it's a good one anyway. Made 
me chuckle!

You could always use Python on Lisp - I managed to run web.py inside Clisp and 
got it interacting with Lisp callbacks to display the webpages, but the 
problem is POL doesn't run on CMUCL or SBCL, which is a pain, and web.py 
doesn't work with Lispworks or Allegro. I need to do a little more work on 
getting POL to be more portable.

Cheers,
