Maybe they use Arc, e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/nosuchfile http://news.ycombinator.com/nosuchfile

  It's not Arc that does that, it's the http server written in it. As you already knew.

    Why wasn't it called "The http server written in Arc challenge" at http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html http://www.paulgraham.com/arcchallenge.html?

      It's common, though not acceptable, to conflate language with supporting tools/libraries, sometimes even the OS? It's very hard to draw the distinction when the language is not standardized, and/or heavily used (as language implementors are also its consumers.) It should be a good exercise to take the public StackOverflow data and see how many "Rails" problems are actually Ruby, httpd, db, OS, or wetware problems.
