It's been just over one year since I got excited about Arc.

Luckily for the language dorks, Paul Graham announced the release of Arc the language today.

There's even a tutorial suitable for beginners to Lisp.

I hope to have it installed and running a very simple web app by the end of the week. Work and school are calling though (and house-hunting and other things), so I may need to use my open source time to check it out.

Unfortunately, Paul says "we're giving notice in advance that we're going to keep acting as if we were the only users. We'll change stuff without thinking about what it might break, and we won't even keep track of the changes." So don't go building anything serious.

Best quote on reddit? "Someone somewhere invented a vaporware condensation machine and has been running it...."

In any case, let me know if you're going to be playing with it.
