Email me if you run into trouble, and I'll personally help fix any problem you run into. It turns out that if you use arc for something critical, the language itself won't break. The programs written in Arc might contain bugs, but as far as I can tell, the underlying infrastructure is solid. This is going to sound like bullshit, but a couple years ago I wrote a site in Arc and left it running by mistake. It was set up to push hourly backups to Tarnsap, and the site was doing useful things, but I never ended up needing it. Turns out the site continued running for 1.4 years by accident. There weren't any scripts to restart the server on a reboot -- it simply ran for that long. Presumably it halted because Amazon rebooted the micro instance or the account ran out of money. When I checked the logs in Tarsnap, I was pretty amazed to find that it had served 37k requests, almost all of which were automated fuzzers. I hadn't launched the site; it just happened to be using an obscure URL. The site had a bit of dynamic functionality, so it wasn't merely a static site. But I hadn't written it cleverly or carefully. Arc is what carried the site for those 16 months, not me. As for the community: correct, but I intend to change that. If the growth exponent flips from negative to positive, it won't be small for very long. In the meantime, though, they're some of the nicest and most helpful people ever, so feel free to post whenever you get stuck, or shoot me a message.
