Much better is write the server in Perl and provide a LISP-like language for the general programming.

Very true, but at the same time massively disappointing. Having to program OO lisp at the perlmonks MOO takes away 99% of the attraction for me.

Especially since people will then start asking LISP questions at the monastary and there'll be big flamewars about why the questions shouldn't be asked even though the MOO is part of PM.

Plus it leads to the inevitable question "why doesn't someone write the entire MOO in LISP"
