      What is Arc?

      Arc is designed for exploratory programming: the kind where you decide what to write by writing it. A good medium for exploratory programming is one that makes programs brief and malleable, so that's what we've aimed for. This is a medium for sketching software.

      What is C++?

      C++ compiles directly to a machine's native code, allowing it to be one of the fastest languages in the world, if optimized.

      What is PHP?

      Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.
