Thanks! I woulda missed that if you hadn't posted this. It got me to finally post a long-gestating comment on arc's continuation-based webapp framework: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5032739
"This process allows [many] continuations captured by your servlet to be serialized. This means they may be stored on the client’s browser or the server’s disk."
Oh, I was particularly responding to "It also turns out that there's at least one company trying to scale continuation-based servers," which you said afterward. Guess you chose the example you chose, no worries. ^_^
Ah, good point! I didn't think of it then (I think I even had the racket link in the textarea in a different context before I ended up dropping it to the floor.)
Well, at least you got a response from pg regarding Arc. Now, about that outdated Arc home and install page ... :)
EDIT
More seriously:
pg "In retrospect YC would have taken over my life no matter what. It has pushed out essays too, mostly.
I don't consider Arc to have died, incidentally. You used it to say that, and I'm using it to reply. If I ever retired from YC I'd probably start working on it more actively again." [1]
The thread was quite revealing. Or perhaps it just said what we all probably already knew.
