If there's a vote on how awesome arc is - you've got mine. Thanks pg & rtm.

As some of you probably know I started programming in Arc. While I still plan to code in Arc, I would like to get familiar with other languages as well. Since my day job is not anything related to coding I don't need to steer over to the the obvious c# or java choices for resume propping. The following list is just off the top of my head. As a note I'm not really the kind of person that wants to do the math to map data bytes to memory blocks or to the like. I'm interested in high level languages.

Here's for hoping the super talented Ken Shirriff will publish a similar write up to his arc2 post.

Anarki has a lot of great stuff in it, but it also has alot of crap in it. I spent 2 weeks just going through the code pulling out the pieces I like from Anarki and not the rest. I certainly hope pg keeps the arc code down to the dozen or so core files forcing the community to build libraries on top rather than integrate adhoc extras at such a low level that it's brutal to separate the good from the bad.
