But, you're confusing the actual application with the Lisp implementation. Arc (and Mzscheme for that matter) are not as mature as Erlang's 20 years (or whatever). If this was running on a more mature Lisp system, I don't think we'd be discussing the same thing.
- davidw 19y agoYou don't get to pick and choose implementations to compare. Mzscheme was probably chosen because it's a pretty well known scheme implementation and seems popular... likely because it's well done in many ways. But you have to take the bad with the good.
- dpapathanasiou 19y agoMaybe the problem is Arc's lack of tensile strength.
- simonb 19y agoTo be honest, this is not the only such case. Eve Online folks migrated part of their system from SBCL to Erlang for seemingly the same reasons [http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2102 http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2102]. Having said that, it is still not a language issue, since we have systems such as Termite/Gambit Scheme [http://toute.ca http://toute.ca].
