I don't know much about Arc, but my gut feeling is that it is not likely to be newbie-friendly, between the combination of it being somewhat esoteric and, you know, a dialect of lisp, which isn't exactly known for being all that friendly to the new programmer. :)

I was actually referring to RoR in regards to support concerns but I appreciate the arc response :). Still helpful.

Ah, sorry. RoR has a very vibrant and active community, and I don't think you'll have any problem finding help with it if you choose to go that route.
