So...what happens to Common Lisp now?

As well, any bets on who writes the first book?

Common Lisp will keep chugging right along.

You could ask on comp.lang.lisp if you wanted some really well-informed opinions wrt the impact of Arc on CL, but I wouldn't advise it unless your skin is thick and flame-resistant.

A somewhat different question is its impact on Scheme. My bet is mzscheme gets pretty popular this year.

Do you really think that Arc is a competitor for CL?

It is for me. I literally wrote it so I wouldn't have to use CL anymore.

Maybe not. But unlike CL, Arc has a snowball's chance in hell of competing with Java.
