Very Interesting ! can you tell us anything about how well (or if) Arc is converging to a releasable state?

    Is that url correct? I get a "Server Not found" result for download.archub.com though archub.com works fine. Could be a server in the middle I guess. Can someone reading this attempt a download and post the result here?

      Sorry, I was joking. I've seen the "arc we there yet?" question asked so many times I feel the need to tease. I made sure to reply here quickly though :-)

        no harm done :-) Just to clarify, I didn't ask for a downloadable. I just wanted a sense of whether arc was converging or not and how the language evolved and what was learned. e.g: the decision to have constants in function call position return themselves. I would really love to know how that came about (though it maybe burdening Paul too much to ask him to write down how he came to that design decision :-) ) I find language design fascinating. One of my favorite books is Stroustroups' "The design of the C++ language". It is not often one can ask question while the language design/evolution is going on. The question wasn't intended to be "Is Arc ready?" but rather "what is your sense of where the language is going?" .
