Reddit was initially written in Lisp?! His main contribution to Reddit was actually a bad one then :(

Yeah it was written in Common Lisp. Spez wrote all the original code.

When they merged with Infogami, Swartz became coowner and rewrote it using his web.py that he developed.

That was the total extent he had with Reddit.
