Anarki is a community-managed, permissively-maintained fork of the Arc dialect of Lisp, implemented on Racket and distributed as an interactive REPL plus interpreter. It bundles News, a Hacker News-style web application demonstrating Arc's web development capabilities.

Use cases

  • experiment with the arc lisp dialect in a repl
  • run a hacker news style forum site
  • learn lisp through the arc tutorial
  • prototype web apps in arc
  • contribute patches to a community lisp fork

When to choose

  • you want to explore or hack on the Arc Lisp language with frequent community updates
  • you want to run or customize the classic News forum application
  • you need a REPL-driven Lisp environment built on Racket

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade language with stability or compatibility guarantees
  • you want a mainstream Lisp like Common Lisp, Scheme, or Clojure
  • you need long-term support or a large ecosystem
