Digging through a few of the other threads there, a complaint about using = as a generalized set was among the best example of complaints I've seen about arc yet. Using = promotes proggramming in a non functional style (apparently), but lisp is multiparadigm anyway. I have yet to read what the paradigm of arc is supposed to be, but my assumptions are, whatever one you want.
- pg 19y agoEvery popular Lisp dialect has assignment. They can't have been complaining about that. The gripe must have been with my choice of = as the name for assignment.
