Don't interfere in other's personal life.

If you can, work and help others, otherwise shut your mouth.

Gee, man, it was just a friendly question. I don't think any reasonable people here actually expect Paul to prioritize hacking over his wife and baby.

Your comment sounds a lot like what I'd expect on comp.lang.lisp. I get what you were trying to express, but please tone it down a little.

If you are using anarki arc, then set the rootdir* to appropriate directory.

  (= rootdir* "/home/you/yourdir/")

You can also configure Apache to serve static files without going through Arc, which is probably faster.

See http://arclanguage.com/item?id=3486 for an example configuration.

I've flagged it, which should be used to signal spam, but it is still here.

Presumably flagging requires PG to actually do something.

LOL.

I'm feeling snarky today ^^

Im using quack - scheme mode in lispbox

so we can build standalone executables.

primitives in the sense, i mean functions like quote, atom, eq, cons, car, cdr, cond, eval,

There should be a limited set of funcitons like that. On top which we write other stuffs.

Where is the dividing line, in arc.

Arc is desinged as a practical language, and as such it is not built on any pure primitives. PG had, at one point, taken such an approach, but abandoned it because of poor performance.

It calls many mzscheme functions to run, most of them not primitive. Primitives, as far as they exist, are defined in ac.scm. They are not simple, however- Instead, the emphasis is on keeping the language implementation simple and reasonably efficient.

Personally I'm retaking this approach, and doing some trickery on the scheme side to improve performance. So far what I've been doing is only slightly slower than Anarki (within sampling variation, although the average times are slightly higher).
