Ask PG: Why is the Arc logo a womb chair?
Logo for Arc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arc_programming_language_logo.jpeg
Knoll womb chair, designed by Eero Saarinen: http://www.knoll.com/products/product.jsp?prod_id=145
I recognized the chair because the MIT Brain&Cog center has a few, and they're wonderful for naps.
- pg 18y agoIt's not the logo. But I used it because (a) the womb chair, like Lisp, is an old design that's still holding up well, and (b) as a reference to the idea that language design is like chair design (rather than bridge design). http://www.paulgraham.com/langdes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/langdes.html
