The Clojure inventor (Rich Hickey) took most of the good ideas from arc and all the arc enthusiasts have pretty much changed horses long ago to Clojure.

I think arc still has some good points related to code brevity that noone else has fully duplicated yet.

No. Clojure's first public release was before Arc's first public release. Rich was also working on Clojure for two years before release.

I stand corrected.

(and besides, most of the best ideas of Clojure are certainly due to Rich's insights)
