HN comment order

I just saw this come up in an arpilisp discussion thread (https://github.com/marcpaq/arpilisp). ChrysaLisp is an Assembler/C-Script/Lisp 64 bit OS. MIMD, multi CPU, multi threaded, multi core, multi user, and will build from source in ~2 seconds on most OS X or x64 Linux desktops. Maybe this will let me live vicariously through someone who has actually built the project I always dream of creating in my free time.

Thanks again folks for the interest. You catch me yet again when I’m at work but I’ll try answer question in an hour or so once I get home. Regards to all. Chris
