Arc + Emacs
"So Paul Graham releases Arc, a new dialect of Lisp. It's been out for a little while now, so it's not exactly news, but the language itself is pretty cool. It seems to embrace the idea of programs rapidly changing, by making programs smaller. So, how does one actually get to play around with Arc?
