I do keep meaning to get SLIME set up, but haven't actually tried yet. If you list what problems you run into, people will be able to help you more easily.

You know, every once in a while I consider setting up slime, or at least looking at it, but I've never used slime before and I don't really know what it offers.

What are your favorite features of slime, and why would I want to use it over just emacs + arc.el + repl-in-shell?

Hi As there is no slime support for Arc I tried to load arc.el to emacs but, it failed with this message: arc.el:411:30:Error: Required feature `cl-macs' was not provided.

What version of emacs are you using? Maybe you'll need to upgrade or install cl-macs.el.

Hi I'm using emacs Emacs 23.3.1 and cl-macs.el is installed. I type arc-mode and I get Arc in the menu, but when i choose Run inferior-arc error message:error: Required feature `cl-macs' was not provide. Thanks

What is arc.el? There's no arc-mode for Emacs that I know of. What are you expecting to happen when you type M-x arc ? Where did you get arc.el?

I wrote up instructions on how to get SLIME working with Arc, but I don't have a Windows box to test on. Can you translate the directions to Windows, and then see if it works for you? http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14998 Notably, you don't start SLIME by typing M-x arc-mode; you start it by typing M-x slime .

Ah. This isn't SLIME. As akkartik said, it's likely that no one here uses it. If you want to try SLIME, follow my instructions here: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14998

Ah, I'd forgotten about that. It hasn't been touched in over a year (http://github.com/nex3/arc/commits/master/extras/arc.el); I'm not sure if anyone here has experience with it.

I definitely use arc.el on a regular basis, though I won't claim to be familiar with the finer points of its capabilities. As far as I'm concerned, it offers reasonable highlighting and indentation for arc code; I haven't tried to get it to do much else. For most of my lisp editing needs, I rely on paredit.
