Your arc format feels a lot like an INI-format, but with one or two teaks here and there.

Is it inherently better in a way I'm not seeing?

Would arc be suitable enough for a new project to adopt?

I'd like to leave the format discussion behind. Its the least interesting part and you rarely interact with it. I'll add YAML and JSON support so ppl can judge for themselves on merit against options that have tradeoffs.

Its absolutely suitable today. We have it in production in several apps. begin.com and arc.codes itself are two examples that have seen non-trivial traffic.
