Arc, which is a Lisp dialect.
Too obscure and weird for me, but quite interesting. :)

The source code is much more interesting than some Twitter bro's hot take.
"We took a wrong turn w/ software."
... apparently.
Save your energy and check out the repo instead.
I don't totally blame the guy though. If you want to play the stupid Twitter game, you have to add a trite but provocative hot take to every post you make, lest your writings languish in obscurity. The only way to win is not to play, truly.

DB schema is missing. If there was an .sql script to create all the tables, I could run this reddit version.
Most of the information about columns and tables could be recovered from data.lisp and view-defs.lisp. Maybe also old.lisp

OMG, Paul Graham actually released Arc in some form? I thought he never finished it.
I was going to make snarky comment about how between spez and PG, Lisp must actually be extended-release brain poison for people in executive management positions; now I wonder if spez just knows PG personally and takes his advice.
