Languages need momentum to gain foothold. It needs a community of dynamic, experimental, evangelistic pioneers to gather around your language and start building. When I go to the Arc site [http://arclanguage.org/ http://arclanguage.org/], it seems pretty obvious to me why Arc has not "taken off": A drab HTML 2.0 site with a tiny font describing how it's unfinished, and the only way to install is through another Lisp version, and no indication that there is a community of developers behind it. It's almost like they don't want anyone to use it. To be fair, it seems Paul Graham does not care about popularity. But not caring about popularity means it's dead in the water. It's not like lots of people don't want a Lisp these days. Clojure has become very popular, after all; it has been able to hit the sweet spot in terms of modernity and lispiness; good, practical technology with a solid community.
