Holy shit people do hire lisp programmers

I was surfing a website and i saw this:  http://www.startuphire.com/search/details.php?job=73896

Since its a well known fact that LISP weenies don't shower, I think DIRTY JOBS should do a show about that company.  "YEA WE GIVE GAS MASKS TO ALL EMPLOYEES, LOL1"  But its made up for by the fact that LISP code is a hot mess to maintain and takes 10 times longer to code, thus being the language of choice for bureaucracies everywhere.

It does make some sense. Here are some points to consider:
1)Maybe they have some elisp scripts that need working on, and their engineers need help with them?
2)Using vi for Lisp programming is usually looked down upon by other Lispers. Emacs is one of the few environments which support the interactive development style which goes with Lisp. Using vi is possible, but you'll waste time which could be better spent writing useful code. (I have nothing against vi, and I think it's fine for writing C code, but the development process for Lisp code is fairly interactive, which means the editor must be able to integrate well with the implementation (be able to query it for information, compile new functions at the user's choice, do interactive testing of the live image, locate symbols, and so on. The editor should also be capable of auto-indenting the code and some form of auto-complete based on the symbols present in the running image is also preferred - while it's possible to use vi for development, it's far from ideal, compared to the alternatives). The request is a bit strange since they want the user to write Java, not Lisp.
