It'd be interesting to see this profiled against the canonical implementation. I wouldn't be surprised if a v8-as-target Arc outperformed one targeting MZScheme, not to mention if the the coming server-side JS wave really materializes this would give Arc access to stuff emerging there, much like Clojure lives in the Java world.

I think most people who "hate javascript", dislike working with the DOM, is that true for you? I personally think javascript is a pretty simple & beautiful language. It has its warts, but so does ruby, python, and other dynamic languages.
Yes I dislike the DOM. Maybe I it's that JS is TOO simple (or not simple enough?). I find myself having to constantly match brackets and braces. And the browsers provide little help in the area of syntax checking. Yes, I'm aware of Firebug; it's nice (although it seems to have gotten buggier).

It seems that PLT Scheme it is still twice as fast, at least according to this language shootout. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all...
