I'm really glad I saw this post. I read the original article about Flektor posted on YC today and was really intrigued. So I'm glad that this author made the connection for me to that Lisp company purchased by Sony.

For those who don't read the article, note that it says, "Who knows if they used Lisp at Flektor, but I definitely need to check out their product now to see what the quality level is like." So anyone know which language(s) they used?

techcrunch mentioned "...Flektor is custom code built on Flex..." in this article :

Which one might take to imply at least a healthy chunk of it is Flash/Flex/Actionscript.

Any bets as to which language this will be re-written in if/when they get bought out? :P

Hehe... good point. I'm always reminded how Yahoo rewrote ViaWeb after they bought it. Silly stuff...
