Probably he mentioned ITA just because it's about the only visible company besides Yahoo Stores that uses Lisp in production. (It's a funny sort of Lisp that goes to great lengths to avoid triggering a GC. ITA also uses a lot of C++ and Python.) Certainly ITA will never issue shares worth $36 billion.

They do have good coding puzzles, though. Tell them I sent you.
