Just wondering (as someone who only uses/touches Python indirectly, through some projects that use it, but is not currently a 'Python developer' by any means); was this posted in response to some recent drama in the Django community, or as an argument against Lisp?
I'm just wondering why it seems this story is quickly getting upvoted on the front page of HN, when it seems there are no other frontpage stories remotely related to Django, Reddit, or Lisp?

That may be true about Django, but not the other two.
Reddit being a YC-backed company, it always has been a hot topic here on HN. Maybe less now than a few years back but the same HNers are still here.
And as for Lisp, it has always been a hot topic on HN too. Many people know HN via PG who they discovered for his Lisp writings. HN is itself written in a Lisp dialect. And Lisp related stories appear monthly on the frontpage, maybe weekly if we take all Scheme and Emacs related links into account. Just take a look at the search results for the past week with any Lisp related keyword.
