Anarki vs Arc/Nu vs nulan?
2 points by lplvlsl 4173 days ago | 1 comment
Hi! I have a goal of learning lisp, to use it for AI and some web development. Arc seems amazing, but I'm new and don't know which version to choose.

I understand Anarki and Arc/Nu are the most active ones - but which is better(and more futureproof)?

Also nulan(http://pauan.github.io/nulan/doc/tutorial.html) looks great to me, but I don't know enough at this point to make a conscious choice.

Can you help me to understand where to start?

Well, like I said before (http://arclanguage.org/item?id=17988), you're in the wrong place if you're looking for 'futureproof'. The point of arc and its variants isn't to provide any guarantees, but to teach you to fish. If you'd like to be able to build your own lisp while marooned on a deserted island :)

For this purpose, any of these dialects will do. I think I and others here tend to be more well-versed with anarki. Pauan isn't available here anymore, but still easy to contact separately.
