From what I remember of The Hundred-Year Language, that's pretty much what he said.
Off topic: I don't know how to encourage Arc. I don't even manage to follow the forum. What I know though is that I want Arc to exist. It's a huge mental relief to know it exists.
Which indeed surprised me. And what I experimented surprised me even more.
Thanks again, tc-rucho, for the bugreport. I tried to post a similar one but the forum barred me with the message: "You're submitting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." I guess that was a bug, but I can't tell where it came from. I have kept the message in store in case it could help finding this out.
I would add (for other potential readers) that it is a very neat self-installer that makes it possible to install in user directory (so that it doesn't spread on the whole system).
What's more, this i386 version worked smoothly despite my amd64 kernel.
Right, the username. Someone who figured out I was French (a space slipped before a question mark) on a lisp-related IRC chan told me there were many French Lispers. I wonder how many we actually are.
In Paris too, and I'd be glad to meet some other lispers. Especially since I'm still in the early process of learning Lisp. But I guess we should find another way of dealing with IRL meetings than the forum...
Great! Thank you so much, I indeed missed the link on PLT's download page. I'll try it as soon as I'm back home (I can't wait). And thanks for the rlwrap tip too!
