Correct! https://github.com/lumen-language is to lumen as to https://github.com/arclanguage is to arc.

ycombinator.lol is just because fixed-point combinators are funny:

  (define Y (λ(b)((λ(f)(b(λ(x)((f f) x))))
                  (λ(f)(b(λ(x)((f f) x)))))))
It's amusing that it's even possible, and it looks visually like what happens when you accidentally `cat` a binary file to your terminal.

EDIT: I typo'd the link; The magic trick is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17963471.

Touche :) It would be a little clearer if the contributors for the organization were public.
