I was going to play around with it, but I it wouldn't load because debut.arc isn't in the repository.

Sorry about that. I'll correct it this evening (GMT+1). As for now, you can still find debut.arc in Anarki. It didn't change since last time.

I can't find debut.arc in Anarki either.

Some more Anarki-related questions:

1. Do you intend to use Anarki-specific features? This is so that I know if I can use Anarki in any mods.

2. Do you intend to still use the arc2c copy on Anarki, say as a stable branch?

Yep. Just checked that. In fact, "debut.arc" was renamed "structs.arc". Just change this in "arc2c.arc", and it will be working.

1. Yes, I will probably. I only work with the Anarki version, so when I'm finding something useful in the source, I don't even know if it's "official" or not.

2. Yes. Using Anarki as a repository for the stable versions of arc2c seems a good idea.

Also, another question - Anarki has a CONVENTIONS file, will we be following this too? One Anarki convention that isn't followed is with regards to tabs and indentation, is it OK to change the tabs to follow Anarki conventions or do you prefer the current indentation?

-----

Oh, sure, I never really checked the CONVENTIONS file, but I think it's better to indent this way (it's the tradition after all:). I usually don't do it naturally because it's not the way I learnt it, but I guess I should follow the conventions anyway. So, OK, let's change the tabs.

Regardless, it's extremely useful in the REPL. Instead of inlining the previous expression, you can just use 'that.

If you have macports (and you should!) you can do this:

$ macports install mzscheme

That'll get mzscheme running. Then I downloaded the latest anarki from github (http://github.com/nex3/arc/tarball/master) I untarred it and renamed it to "arc". Then I went back to my shell.

$ chmod -R root arc/ $ mv arc /usr/local/ $ ln -s /usr/local/arc/arc.sh /usr/local/bin/arc

Now from any command line, you can just run $ arc

And you'll get your arc prompt!
