Ask HN: What's HN tech stack?

Apologies if redundant, asking out of curiosity.

HN is built on Arc, a dialect of Lisp and runs on a single box. More details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28478379

Unrelated, but I find searching hackernews through google is much better. Especially because it also puts comments into search results

[cpach → hahnchen]

Algolia can search HN comments.

It depends, but I really like Algolia for topic searching

[vinniepukh]

We should make the same thread, but "wrong answers only". I would have a lot to contribute haha

The html design is based on a big table tag.

[hashim]

If I had to guess I'd say HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Don't forget HTTP, SSL and TCP/IP

Was this supposed to be a joke?
