I think many people mistakenly thought Arc was supposed to be some new kind of framework like Ruby on Rails. I'll bet few of them read the stuff over at http:/

  > I think many people mistakenly thought Arc was supposed to be some new kind of framework like Ruby on Rails. - Didn't you hear? Arc, the language, uses tables in its HTML! (My god, I would never use a programming language that was ever used to generate tables!) - The zeroth release of Arc only supports ASCII! What about us EBCDIC users?! - Arc didn't cure my unsightly dandruff, like I hoped and prayed it would! - Arc is out and Jesus didn't come back! - I downloaded Arc and the tarball just sat there in the directory, doing nothing! - Arc doesn't completely integrate itself with its temporary host language! - Arc killed my entire village, just as we were about to start our annual Unicode Festival! - Arc is just a bunch of library functions and syntactic transformations on a parse tree that ultimately compiles to machine code. There is NOTHING new here! (Did I miss any? ;-)

    I don't know what you're talking about. I downloaded Arc and it immediately became sentient on my machine. It started writing it's own macros and evolving while I slept, and I'm pretty sure we all woke up this morning inside the Matrix.

      Arc has been out for days and they're not done with it yet?!
