Sorry maybe I should of wrote "...between that Lisp and Arc"

I'm a college student just started learning CL, my only background is Javascript with a light amount of C, and so it's not fully apparent to me when looking at the tut. I know Arc is a dialect of Lisp, so a lot of the differences are just implementation of how you type certain things. Just wondering what are the benefits over current dialects?

Since I plan on actively pursuing Lisp programing, I wanted to get a jist of what's happening on the scene. Plus I hear some people at places tauting Arc as the future of Lisp, mostly non-lispers I think, but still it peaked my interest.
