Qi is just a little too out there for me. All variables uppercase? Autoquoting symbols? The bizarre list syntax?

I do like the built-in partial application as well as pattern-matching. But basically it feels like Prolog with a more Lispy syntax.

Here a very superficial comparison of 'Qi' and 'Arc':

  > (< (length "Qi") (length "Arc"))
  > T

Off-by-one!
