And hard to understand.

The fundamental philosophy of Arc is that "hard to understand" is not an issue. It's a language for programmers who aren't afraid of learning hard things, and rarely have any trouble doing so. It's the anti-Java, if you like. So that's not really a good reason to discard the OP's idea.

I mean that it makes code hard to understand, not the language itself.

I think it should print: ((fn (_) (foo _)) (fn (_) (foo _))) why?

because i want to see final expansion of the read macros.

wow pg thanks for arc! i been waiting for it to come out for like year and a half!

( on a side note can you make the text in the box default by remove textarea { color:#000000; in news.css(line 10) or make the textarea have white background - its hard to read black text in default black textbox)
