So, what's it not good at, that's what I'm wondering. That's generally what I look for after reading overviews and PR pieces from evangelists. Right now, if I take the copy at face value, if I'm programming anything with a visual component I should be using Arcan. Knowing where some people find it a poor fit (or just too complicated for a simple use case) helps provide nuance to the hype.
- Mmddla 8y agoThe actual linked article says it aims for very complex things and simple (one-function) things but not in-between. I haven't looked into what that means in practice, but that's what's written.

From the article: "The perspective is to instead emphasise the extremes, that is to focus on the small “one task” kind of clients and on integration with bigger “embedded universes” like virtual machines and web browsers, and leave the middle to fester and rot."
