In 1995 he founded Viaweb , whose flagship product (written largely in Common Lisp) let users make their own Internet store s. In the summer of 1998 he sold Viaweb to Yahoo! for 455,000 shares of Yahoo! stock valued at $49,000,000, where it became Yahoo! Store. He later authored a popular series of web-published essays, starting with "Beating the Averages," which were initially focused on Lisp as compared with other programming languages. He later branched out into other topics, such as A Plan for Spam, which helped popularize naive Bayesian classification as a spam filter. These essays have been collected in the book Hackers and Painters (BooksEnthsiast.com) from O'Reilly. He has been designing the Arc Language , a Lisp-derivative, periodically posting status reports about its development.
