This sort of thing certainly helps to explain why Lisp is threatened with extinction in the wild.
Should I become a new member of the Lisp community, where my every contribution will be greeted with insults, derision, and snobbery? Or should I just learn PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, or C? Suddenly, the decision that most people make seems pretty darned rational.
One of the biggest advantages that Arc has over the myriad other Lisps is that PG actually wants new users.

There are a few kind folks on comp.lang.lisp, but for me, I'm going to pretend that the world began last week, and the only Lisp community that exists is on the arclanguage.org forum.
