It's an objection to this:

> How many jobs do you see on the market that ask for Lisp? And yet, for what it is, this site is amazing! I don't see them rushing to migrate to a python backend and a react-based frontend, no matter how many jobs there are for those.

You pointing out that the dumb simple message board is written in LISP and doesn't need anymore more is a bit absurd.

No shit they aren't rushing to upgrade it. IT BARELY DOES ANYTHING TO BEGIN WITH.

Anytime a certain class of developer see the word "React" that end up saying the most ridiculous shit. Nobody, I mean nobody, thinks HN is a site worthy of replicating or achieving unless they're part of the .0000002% who couldn't find a prepackaged board from Google search results.
