Is it only me who is wondering about this?

The relevant entries according to the dictionary(www.m-w.com):

arch: a typically curved structural member spanning an opening and
serving as a support (as for the wall or other weight above the
opening)

arc: a continuous portion (as of a circle or ellipse) of a curved line

If I understood the "arc" philosophy correctly "arch" would be a
better word
to describe the language. The idea would be bottom-up programming,
with
the lower pieces supporting what is above.

I vote for a name change. Paul Graham are you reading?
