> It is really strange, it is such a basic stuff. Maybe there is some way that the lisp or scheme usage in common differs from the usage of other languages like python or php?
Absolutely true. In short, Lisps in general just consider the OS is crap, and they are too "pure" to talk with it. Hence, no easy way to start a script. Hence (also), no popularity because the majority of people live in the real world and not in the ideal lambda calculus one ^^ (this is not that bad with MzScheme or say SBCL [Common Lisp implementation] to be honest)
> But how do you yourself use arc?
Mostly dealing with the fact that it fucks the Unix philosophy, but I patched it to be a little less stupid on that. Sorry, no time now, but I'll post the patch in the near future, although it is not as sufficient as I'd like yet.
To reply more directly: nearly exclusively from the REPL.
