It still uses Arc. The original implementation was written in Racket, then rewritten in Common Lisp and run on SBCL.
I know Racket was reworked to build upon Chez Scheme several years ago. If the HN migration to CL was due to performance reasons, I wonder if sticking it out and waiting for the Chez version of Racket would have paid off.
