Some arc code I wrote back in the day, for generating textual descriptions from structured data using a web frontend, is still in production at a previous company of mine (as far as I know). It was indeed a useful tool.
It's a shame arc didn't have persistent data structures (besides alists :-) and a native hashmap type though.

- DonHopkins 6y agoI'm sure somebody has written an ADVENTURE front-end for a LISP debugger. You are in a CONS cell. The there is a CAR to the left, leading off to another CONS, and a CDR to the right, containing NIL. The garbage collector briefly enters the CONS, marks it, quickly glances at the NIL in the CDR, smiles quietly to itself, and looking relieved, hurriedly sweeps away through the CAR. >GIVE CONS TO CDR You give the CONS cell to its CDR, creating a circular list.
