In my opinion it's is a waste of our time trying to improve `arc` (it is 34000 lines of PHP btw + another 70000 LOC for libphutil), when `pull requests` are an obvious alternative that most of the Haskell community already uses.
[...] I went ahead wasting some time and hacked up `arc-lite` for fun: https://github.com/haskell-infra/arc-lite It's currently at 407 Haskell SLOCs according to sloccount(1), and emulates the `arc` CLI as a drop-in replacement. As a proof-of-concept I've implemented the 3 simple operations - `arc install-certificate` - `arc list` - `arc call-conduit` If we wasted even more time, this could result in - Simplify installation of Arcanist for GHC contributors via Hacked (i.e. just `cabal install arc-lite`) - Implement a simple `arc diff`-like operation for submitting patches to Phabricator - Implement convenience operations tailored to GHC development - Teach arc-lite to behave more Git-idomatic - Make `arc-lite` automatically manage multi-commit code-reviews by splitting them up and submit them as multiple inter-dependendant code-revisions - ... Any comments?
