Paul Graham's arc language is finally out.

"One of the things you'll discover as you learn more about macros is how much day-to-day coding in other languages consists of manually generating macro expansions."

Amem!

Finally. I used to read Paul Graham's site 4 or 5 years ago, but got bored of it :-P

Maybe it's time to come back.

I was wrong. I still hate Lisp and Lisp-like languages :-)

I wonder how can anyone read things like (if a b c d e). I hope Lisp and Arc inspire other languages (macros!), but I would not use those languages directly.
