Hi Factor list,

I was just wondering how other people develop code in factor to see if 
I'm missing any tricks. Here's how I do it:

I got used to using a repl when programming with scheme and so I do a 
similar thing in factor. I have a factor source file open in emacs and 
paste code into the listener (with C-r). I also have the habit of doing 
test-first, so I tend to write the test and then write the function 
above it. I then repeatedly paste both function and test to the listener 
until the test passes.

At this stage the file is never loaded by factor, so it tends to be 
littered with comments and scrap code. Once I've got some functionality 
resembling a module I then create the directory structure, tidy up the 
code and  separate out the tests. Then finally I might get round to 
writing some documentation.

Is this a common pattern of development, or do you guys do something 
different?

Cheers,

Phil
